This PF-Lens is the first time implemented in CMOS micro stage. It exploits the superior fine line width and transparent dielectric thin film of CMOS process. Diffraction efficiency of PF-Lens is theoretically fourfold better than that of typical binary amplitude-grating Fresnel-lens (AF-Lens). In addition, by dispensing UV curable transparent polymer onto Fresnel-lens, the resulted compound lens can achieve a shorter focal length of 648µm (HeNe laser). The integrated micro stage is thermally actuated. It provides 12µm stroke alone optical-axis and 17.3µm across optical-axis. It is sufficient to compensate optical alignment error and to speed up precision focus tracking.","PeriodicalId":247826,"journal":{"name":"TRANSDUCERS 2009 - 2009 International Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126124745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
