Novel Diffraction Based Deflection Profiling For Microcantilever Sensor Technology

A novel optical diffraction based technique is proposed and demonstrated to measure deflections of the order of ~1nm in microcantilevers (MC) designed for sensing ultra-small forces of stress. The proposed method employs a double MC structure where one of the cantilevers acts as the active se...
