Micromachined Microphones with Diffraction-based Optical Interferometric Readout and Electrostatic Actuation
Micromachined microphones that use a diffraction-based optical method for integrated interferometric detection of diaphragm displacement are described. With optoelectronics integration, this approach yields highly sensitive microphones in mm-cube volumes. Furthermore, the electrical port of the device, which is freed by optical detection, is used for electrostatic actuation of the microphone di...
متن کاملMicromachined Diaphragms with Integrated Actuation Coils
This paper presents a process for fabricating diaphragms, suitable for use in micromachined pumps within the field of micro-fluidics. To enable the actuation of a thick-film deposited magnetostrictive material, actuation coils are fabricated onto the non-chamber face of the diaphragms. These actuation coils are fabricated using a multilayer deposition approach compatible with micromachining pro...
متن کاملMechanical Spectrum Analyzer in Silicon using Micromachined Accelerometers with Time-Varying Electrostatic Feedback
Capacitive accelerometers with electrostatic force feedback are widely employed, because of performance and robustness. The force feedback acts as a means for electronic modulation of the spring constant of the suspension. Commonly, the electrostatic feedback is employed for null-based acceleration measurement. A suitable electrostatic time-varying actuation could instead be used to make the ac...
متن کاملIntegrated optical driver for interferometric optical gyroscopes.
We present the first chip-scale "integrated optical driver" (IOD) that can interrogate with a sensing coil to realize an interferometric optical gyroscope. The chip comprises a light source, three photodiodes, two phase modulators and two 3-dB couplers within an area of 4.5 mm2. This allows for a significant reduction in size, weight, power consumption and cost of optical gyroscopes.
متن کاملDescription of an Advantageous Optical Label-Free Biosensing Interferometric Read-Out Method to Measure Biological Species
In this article we report a new, simple, and reliable optical read-out detection method able to assess Rotavirus present in human sera as well as in the viral pollution sources. It is based on the interference of two interferometers used as biophotonic transducers. The method significantly improves the optical label-free biosensing response measuring both, the concentration of the AgR and its c...
