This demand can be met using WDM. However, such systems will require many different fixed wavelength devices or tunable devices. Surface micromachined tunable optoelectronic devices provide a potentially low-cost solution for WDM transmitting/receiving systems. To optimize optical performance and tunability of devices, a highly reflecting tunable mirror is needed. Among the materials which are commonly used, AlO/sub x//GaAs possesses the largest refractive index contrast. This huge contrast will achieve a higher reflectance and greater bandwidth with a smaller number of DBR pairs when compared to other material combinations. We previously reported a new type of top DBR mirror using AlO/sub x//GaAs which also has a lower tuning voltage. The design issues of this new mirror structure are discussed. Two different top membrane structures were fabricated and their performance compared.","PeriodicalId":148819,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMS (Cat.

However, it cannot be applied to optical fiber for obtaining complicated microstructures. The first and biggest problem for realizing photolithography on an optical fiber is the resist coating on the non-planar surface. When spin coating is used, the resist becomes too uneven in thickness to use for the patterning. The concave and convex regions make the resist thickness vary due to the surface tension. A resist spraying system is developed for three-dimensional photolithography. The photoresist is sprayed as minute particles on the sample surface making a uniform resist film without suffering problems due to surface tension. New process techniques are developed and applied to direct photolithography on single mode optical fiber.","PeriodicalId":148819,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMS (Cat.

The low mass of these tensile-optical-surface (TOS) micromirrors, which consist of tensile polysilicon membranes stretched across stiff, single-crystal silicon-rib structures, enables the mirrors to have both high resonant frequencies and large DC deflection angles. The TOS mirrors can scan at frequencies up to 65.2 kHz while limiting dynamic deformation to be less than /spl sim/70 nm, (approximately /spl lambda//10 at the measurement wavelength of 655 nm). Dynamic deformation as low as 20 nm has been shown on a lower-frequency design having a wider support rib. The effect of adding a 50 nm-thick layer of gold to improve reflectivity is negligible on the deformation of the micromirror.","PeriodicalId":148819,"journal":{"name":"2000 IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMS (Cat.
