However, traditional electrostatic micromirror device driven by a single electrode can not achieve the analog behavior due to its nonlinear transfer characteristic. In this regard, the concept of multiple-electrodes-controlled mirror device is proposed previously to overcome the above mentioned drawback. The experimental results have motivated us to make more efforts to improve the performance such as operating frequency of the proposed micromirror device. In order to increase the operating frequency, the transient behavior of the mirror must be improved first. In this article, we show that fuzzy control technology is a good candidate to improve the transient behavior of the proposed device.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125747802","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}

Two types of micro mirrors to switch the laser beam were used. One is electrostatic actuation type and the other is mixing (electromagnetic+electrostatic) type. We could lessen the insertion loss by arranging the lenses in zigzag style which shorten the optical path. We compared the insertion losses of the optical switches with that of in-line type bench which has loss from the optical bench part only. The loss from the bench part was about 2 dB while the total insertion loss was about 5 dB and 12 dB for each mirror type. From this result, the main reason of the insertion loss was known to be from the mirror part. The switching time was about 15 msec. and the crosstalk was less than 50 dB for both types of switches.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134408988","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}

There are several reasons: MEMS devices have dimensions and achievable actuation distances comparable to the wavelength of light; smooth surfaced dielectrics, semiconductors, and metals can be used in various combinations; and, photons don't weigh anything, so relatively feeble MEMS actuators can easily manipulate them. Moveable and tiltable mirrors and pop-up structures have held center stage in optical MEMS for several years, with uses in displays, micro-optical benches, scanners, and a variety of optical telecom switching applications. Less noticed, but perhaps equally important in the long run, is a family of diffractive MEMS structures that represent paradigm shifts in display technology, infrared spectroscopy, and optical telecom. The polychromator, uses a set of parallel mirror elements, each one of which is individually actuatable with an analog signal, achieving continuous rather than binary control of the mirror element position As a result, an aperiodic diffraction grating is realized with a fully programmable optical transfer function. When illuminated with white light, the spectral content at a fixed viewing angle can be controlled by adjustment of the various mirror element positions.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134093567","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}

To date, TAIL's have been thoroughly studied both analytically and experimentally mainly within the frame of scalar diffraction theory and paraxial approximation. However, only little investigation has been done so far on what happens to the illumination characteristics when the TAIL's feature size becomes of the order of the wavelength and whether illumination of less than one TAIL period can be in any way useful. In the following, we try to answer those questions by taking a look at the performance of a TAIL when acting as a coupling element to an optical waveguide. For simplicity we confine here our evaluation to optical structures that vary only in two dimensions, e.g., a slab waveguide, and TE illumination.","PeriodicalId":285115,"journal":{"name":"IEEE/LEOS International Conference on Optical MEMs","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117113303","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}
