Abstract

This paper presents a novel readout for a µ-Coriolis mass flow sensor based on a differential optical reflective method, using a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and two photodiodes (PD). The new readout detects change in applied mass flow rate by measuring the phase shift between the two photodiode signals. Such a setup offers a non-contact and robust sensing method. Measurements are presented for mass flow of DI-water up to 10 gram/hour resulting in a phase shift of 8.7 degrees.
