| Summary: | confirmed by experiments using a Michelson interferometer. dimensional change in the piezoelectric material in response elements is investigated. Complete switching requires that interferometer. The mechanical motion results from a Optical switching in interferometers using piezoelectric predict the response speed of the piezoelectric element. Predictions that sub-micro second switching is possible are produce a 7r-radian phase shift in one arm of the the piezoelectric element induce enough mechanical motion to to an applied voltage. A finite element model is used to |
