Optical MEMS Technology

Abstract
The talk will focus on Optical MEMS technology where the MEMS device is utilized for an Optical function. Optical MEMS is playing a critical role in many important areas such as Optical Networks, LIDAR, Virtual Reality, 3D Imaging, and various Biomedical applications. Devices that operate on the phase of an Optical beam require less movement and can be much faster. Examples of such devices include GLV (grating light valve), Diffractive MEMS, and Tunable Fabry Perot filters. Many applications are enabled by Micromirror devices that rotate in one or two axes. Different approaches are used depending on mirror size, speed, rotation angle, and whether used in a controlled or resonant mode. One or two dimensional arrays of mirrors are needed for some applications such as Optical Cross-connect Switches. The talk will also review design methodologies and process fabrication methods.
