Abstract

This paper discusses some experimental results obtained by a force sensor utilizing the elasto–optical effect within a Nd:YAG crystal. The optical set–up, the force application system and the signal pick–up with a very high speed InGaAs photodetector is detailed. Some calibration results for forces in the mN up to N range are given.
