A novel MOEMS gyroscope based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal array
Abstract Currently, most MEMS (Micro-electromechanical systems) gyroscopes use capacitive detection solution to measure the displacement due to angular velocity for its simplicity. However, this method has many unavoidable errors which will decrease the gyroscopes’ precision, such as parasitic capacitance, electromagnetic interference. Recently,
