Abstract

The proof-of-concept demonstration of a microfiber-based flexural disc accelerometer is presented. The reduced microfiber size and bending radii give rise to high device compactness and responsivity. A flexural disc accelerometer manufactured from a $10\mathrm{mm}$ long microfiber showed a performance of $\sim 2.2\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{g}$, with the responsivity expected to increase proportionally with the microfiber length.
