Abstract:
    A fibre optic accelerometer (1) particularly intended for use with an interferometer (30) is described. The accelerometer (1) utilises the compliant cylinder approach but through providing the seismic mass (13) at the core of the cylinder (7), this results in improved sensitivity and rejection of out-of-axis inputs.
