Description

This paper describes the design of a novel double-flexure two-axis tilt sensor with a tilt readout based on an optical walk-off sensor. The performance of the device has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. The walk-off sensor has demonstrated a sensitivity of 10-11 rad Hz-1/2 at 1 Hz. The tilt sensor has measured seismic noise ∼10-9-10-10 rad Hz-1/2 for frequency in the 2-10 Hz range
