Fabrication of the Open-Loop MEMS-Based Tilting Mirror Using the Compound Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, a kind of novel open-loop two-stage torsion-mirror optical actuators has been demonstrated. The mirrors are fabricated in SOI wafers, and exhibit good basic electromechanical characteristics. They provide an impetus to being brought into use as optical switches or attenuators, etc. for fiber communication applications.
