A 2D scanning micro mirror is modelled based on numerical simulations and optimized using the Matlab optimization Toolbox. The simulation model covers structural, fluidic and electrostatic effects. The goals of the optimization are low driving voltages and robustness against process variations. The simulated behaviour of the optimized design is compared to experimental results.
We present a microscanner actuated by self aligned vertical comb drives of high aspect ratio, designed for bidirectional static actuation. A stable rotational angle of ±8° is demonstrated at 290V DC .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
