Optical micro energy and information transmission system

Abstract

We propose an optical multi-transmission system using pyroelectric and optical piezoelectric element as the transmitter for the transmission system of a micromachine system. We apply the PLZT element to the proposed system as the main component, transmitter. The PLZT element generates the electric charge according to the change of temperature and strength of the irradiation of ultraviolet ray. We aim at the energy supply system using the pyroelectric effect, and the information transmission system using the optical piezoelectric effect. We show a numerical model of the transmission system using the PLZT element and simulation results of the transmission of the photo energy and information source to the electric information. Experimental results are presented which illustrate the performance and the ability of the proposed system.
