Predictions of catastrophic seismic events are extremely important. Such predictions are based on the continuous monitoring of many varying values characterizing the tension in the earth's crust. One of these indicators is micro oscillations in the Earth's crust, committed under the influence of the lunar-solar tidal forces. Devices for the registration of these oscillations are extremely complex, based on laser interferometric techniques. These devices converts length increment into according increment the phase ...

The laser meter of super small rock displacement under the influence of gravitational forces from the moon and the sun allows registering the regular fluctuations in the Earth's crust. These fluctuations provide small difference in the distances between the rocks edges in the two orthogonal directions inside the shaft structure drilled in the rock. Laser-based displacement meter converts the distance change into the increment of the phase difference in the two light beams in the interferometer. The photo detector ...
