Abstract

The invention provides a vibration sensor with a platform mounted Bragg c frequency shifter and heterodyne detection system, wherein the reference beam is modulated with the component of platform vibration normal to the sensing beam, such that a similar modulation of the sensing beam is cancelled by the heterodyning process.
