Standing-Wave Transform Spectrometer Based on Integrated MEMS Mirror and Thin-Film Photodetector

چکیده
In this paper, we report a novel, miniature Fourier transform spectrometer with a linear architecture that works by sampling a standing wave. The spectrometer consists of an electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical mirror with on-resonance displacement of up to 65 m, a thin-film photodetector, and an electrical back plane for actuating the mirror. The integrated device offers mirror stability and fixed relative alignment of the three components. The spectrometer has better than 32-nm resolution at 633 nm.

Thin Film Technology Based Micro-fourier Spectrometer
A novel Fourier spectrometer using thin film technology was developed. The spectrometer based on a semi transparent thin film detector in combination with a tunable micro machined mirror. The semi transparent detector is introduced into a standing wave created in front of the mirror to sample the profile of the standing wave. Varying the position of the mirror results in a shift of the phase of...
متن کاملA Fourier Transform Spectrometer Based on an Electrothermal MEMS Mirror with Improved Linear Scan Range
A Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) that incorporates a closed-loop controlled, electrothermally actuated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) micromirror is proposed and experimentally verified. The scan range and the tilting angle of the mirror plate are the two critical parameters for MEMS-based FTS. In this work, the MEMS mirror with a footprint of 4.3 mm × 3.1 mm is based on a modified...

OVERVIEW Mirrorcle Technologies Gimbal-less Two-Axis Scanning MEMS Mirror Devices are based on proprietary ARI-MEMS fabrication technology initially developed through research projects at the Adriatic Research Institute (“ARI”) in Berkeley, CA. They provide very fast optical beam steering across two axes, while requiring ultra-low power. The mirrors deflect laser beams or images to optical scan...
متن کاملA Scaleable CMOS Current-Mode Preamplifier Design for an Optical Receiver
We have designed a process-insensitive preamplifier for an optical receiver, fabricated it in several different minimum feature sizes of standard digital CMOS, and demonstrated design scaleability of this analog integrated circuit design. The same amplifier was fabricated in a 1.2 μm and two different 0.8 μm processes through the MOSIS foundry [1]. The amplifier uses a multistage, low-gain-per-...
