However, the rapid development and widespread adoption of MEMS resonant devices have rendered standalone static topography measurements inadequate to meet evolving characterization requirements. This gap necessitates innovative approaches for synchronous in-situ detection of geometric and dynamic parameters during device operation. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel laser scanning confocal vibration microscopy (LSCVM) method that enables simultaneous topographical mapping and vibrational parameter acquisition without requiring operational state switching. The LSCVM method utilizes continuous wavelet transform (CWT) to perform time–frequency analysis on vibration-coupled confocal axial response curves, thereby extracting vibrational parameters. Concurrently, linear bilateral fitting of skewed segments is applied to derive topographic parameters. Through this approach, the LSCVM method achieves simultaneous topographic and vibrational detection via a single axial scan, attaining a geometric spatial resolution of 300 nm and an amplitude resolution of 0.4 nm. Experimental validation using a micro-cantilever beam device confirmed the feasibility and advantages of the LSCVM method, demonstrating its potential as a novel approach for the in-situ performance evaluation of operational MEMS devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19511,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 113484"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we introduce a novel theoretical framework suitable for designing new types of structured paraxial surface plasmon beams and controlling their propagation. More specifically, this method relies on a convenient Hermite-Gaussian mode expansion, which constitutes a complete basis set upon which new types of structured paraxial plasmon beams can be generated. The family of beams generated in this way presents a rather peculiar feature: they exhibit local intensity maxima at different propagation distances, which enables the control over where to place the beam energy. This, thus, opens up worthwhile pathways to manipulate light propagation along metal surfaces at the nanoscale. As a proof-of-concept, we provide numerical evidence of the feasibility of the method by analyzing the propagation of Airy-based surface plasmon polaritons along an air-silver interface.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19511,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 113462"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144557265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The microscopic morphology, elemental composition, corrosion current density (5.4 × 10<sup>−7</sup> A/cm<sup>2</sup>), and contact angle (70.28°) of the cleaned surface were highly consistent with the original oxide film, indicating that optimum cleaning was successfully realized. Furthermore, the oxide film damage mechanism was revealed by combining macro/micro morphology analysis and thermo-mechanical simulation. The thermal stress at the bottom of the paint layer exceeds its fracture strength, causing it to fragment and detach from the surface, forming holes. Subsequent pulses then pass through these holes to directly irradiate the oxide film, thereby damaging it. The process window for optimum cleaning, obtained through thermal stress simulation, is 2.32–3.20 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, which is in good agreement with the experimental results.
