摘要：

We present a method for efficient spectral readout of mechanical resonator arrays in dissipative environments. Magnetomotive drive and detection are used to drive double clamped resonators in the nonlinear regime. Resonators with almost identical resonance frequencies can be tracked individually by sweeping the drive power. Measurements are performed at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. These conditions enable application in high throughput resonant sensor arrays.
