Linearization of Electrostatically Actuated Surface Micromachined 2-D Optical Scanner
This paper presents an effective method of linearizing the electrostatic transfer characteristics of micromachined two–dimensional (2-D) scanners. The orthogonal scan angles of surface micromachined polysilicon scanner are controlled by using quadrant electrodes for electrostatic actuation. By using a pair of differential voltages over a bias voltage, we could improve the distortion of projecte...
متن کاملMultiple-Channel Piezoelectric Actuated Tunable Optical Filter for WDM Application
Abstract—We propose new multiple-channel piezoelectric (PZT) actuated tunable optical filter based on racetrack multi-ring resonators for wavelength de-multiplexing network applications. We design tunable eight-channel wavelength de-multiplexer consisting of eight cascaded PZT actuated tunable multi-ring resonator filter with a channel spacing of 1.6nm. The filter for each channel is basically ...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Micro-Gripper Using Piezoelectric Bimorphs
Piezoelectric bimorphs have been used as a micro-gripper in many applications, but the system might be complex and the response performance might not have been fully characterized. In this study the dynamic characteristics of bending piezoelectric bimorphs actuators were theoretically and experimentally investigated for micro-gripping applications in terms of deflection along the length, transi...
متن کاملMeasurement System for the Characterization of Piezoelectric Bimorphs
Hysteresis is a common phenomenon in various non linear systems including piezoceramic materials. Piezoelectric bimorph devices show hysteretic behaviour, when operating as actuators. In this paper an experimental set-up to investigate the hysteretic behaviour of a PZT is described. The strategy adopted uses a resistive readout scheme and a CCD tool for the system calibration. Moreover, softwar...
متن کاملPiezoelectric Bimorphs' Characteristics as In-Socket Sensors for Transfemoral Amputees
Alternative sensory systems for the development of prosthetic knees are being increasingly highlighted nowadays, due to the rapid advancements in the field of lower limb prosthetics. This study presents the use of piezoelectric bimorphs as in-socket sensors for transfemoral amputees. An Instron machine was used in the calibration procedure and the corresponding output data were further analyzed...
