Optomechanical reference

An optomechanical reference comprising:

• a basal member;
• a flexure disposed on the basal member and comprising:
• a floating link disposed on the basal member;
• a first flexural member interposed between the basal member and the floating link;
• and
• a second flexural member interposed between the basal member and the floating link such that:
• the floating link is moveably disposed on the basal member via flexing of the first flexural member and the second flexural member, and
• the first flexural member and the second flexural member are spaced apart and in mechanical communication by the floating link;
• a first stator disposed on the basal member and opposing the flexure such that:
• the first stator is spaced apart from the flexure, and
• the first stator is subject to displacement when the basal member is displaced;
• a second stator disposed on the basal member and opposing the flexure such that:
• the second stator is spaced apart from the flexure, and
• the second stator is subject to displacement when the basal member is displaced;
• a first cavity comprising:
• a first primary mirror disposed on the flexure;
• a first secondary mirror disposed on the first stator and in optical communication with the first primary mirror;
• a first optical coupler in optical communication with the first secondary mirror and that provides a first laser light to the first cavity;
• and
• a first cavity length comprising a first distance between the first primary mirror and the first secondary mirror;
• and
• a second cavity comprising:
• a second primary mirror disposed on the flexure;
• a second secondary mirror disposed on the second stator and in optical communication with the second primary mirror;
• a second optical coupler in optical communication with the first secondary mirror and that provides a second laser light to the second cavity;
• and
• a second cavity length comprising a second distance between the second primary mirror and the second secondary mirror.
