Optomechanical systems for high-precision sensing such as optical ring resonators or gravitational wave detectors require a detailed knowledge of mechanical and optical material parameters.
We introduce a versatile setup for the dynamic measurement of optical and mechanical properties, for example of mechanical loss, birefringence and elastic tensors. To perform frequency dependent (resonant and off-resonant) investigations we drive the samples by piezo-electric actuators or strong quasi-electrostatic fields. The mechanical motion of the sample is monitored by a fringe-locked Michelson Interferometer based on a stabilized 632 nm HeNe-Laser. To measure the dynamically induced birefringence we couple the setup to a tunable light source (300 nm...2000 nm) based on a Czerny-Turner monochromator that can be flexibly connected to either an ellipsometer or Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
