Characterization of a MEMS resonator with extended hysteresis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper an electrostatically driven MEMS resonator with resonance and hysteresis characteristics is reported. The resonator begins to exhibit spring-hardening effect at ac excitation voltage of 105mV and dc bias voltage of 5V in vacuum at 50Pa. An extended hysteresis at low pressure and high excitation voltage during upsweep and downsweep of excitation frequency was observed. This characteristic facilitates the usage of this type of resonator in a range of applications such as a cascaded filter array or as a high bandwidth resonator.

Analytical Study of Optical Bi-Stability of a Single-Bus Resonator Based on InGaAs Micro-Ring Array
In this paper, for the first time to our knowledge, we investigate the optical bi-stability in a compact parallel array of micro- ring resonators with 5μm radius, induced by optical nonlinearity. Due to the nature of perfect light confinement, resonance and accumulation process in a ring resonator, optical nonlinear effects, even at small optical power of a few milliwatts in this structure are ...

متن کاملIn-Plane MEMS Shallow Arch Beam for Mechanical Memory
We demonstrate a memory device based on the nonlinear dynamics of an in-plane microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) clamped–clamped beam resonator, which is deliberately fabricated as a shallow arch. The arch beam is made of silicon, and is electrostatically actuated. The concept relies on the inherent quadratic nonlinearity originating from the arch curvature, which results in a softening beha...
