MEMS-based optical limiter.

چکیده
We propose the design of an optical limiter based on a microelectromechanical systems deformable mirror. The design is based on aperturing focused light reflected out of an optically driven deformable mirror, deformed in a parabolic form. We derive an expression for the reflected light intensity, and we show that the reflected light saturates as a function of back illumination light intensity.

Robust Lyapunov-based Control of MEMS Optical Switches
In this paper, a robust PID control scheme is proposed for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) optical switches. The proposed approach is designed in a way which solves two challenging and important problems. The first one is successful reference tracking and the second is mitigating the system nonlinearities. The overall system composed of nonlinear MEMS dynamics and the PID controller is ...

متن کاملSecond Order Sliding Mode Observer-Based Control for Uncertain Nonlinear MEMS Optical Switch
This paper studies theuncertain nonlinear dynamics of a MEMS optical switch addressing electrical, mechanical and optical subsystems. Recently, MEMS optical switch has had significant merits in reliability, control voltage requirements and power consumption. However, an inherent weakness in designing control for such systems is unavailability of switch position information at all times due to t...
متن کاملLow power, high extinction electrothermal MEMS iris VOA
Electrothermal actuation provides the long displacement required by an increasing number of MEMS applications. However, its high power consumption is a limiting factor, especially for applications in which multiple actuators are required. An iris type variable optical attenuator (VOA), which was recently introduced by our group, is an example of such an application. In this paper we introduce a...
متن کاملEndoscopic optical coherence tomography with new MEMS mirror - Electronics Letters
Introduction: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a new optical imaging technique that can provide cross-sectional images of biological tissue, highly desirable for imaging diagnosis of superficial lesions [1]. OCT can delineate tissue micro morphology, holding the potential for non-invasive optical biopsy [1, 2]. In recent years, the development of real-time, high-performance, reliable and l...
