Simulation and Characterization of a CMOS Z-axis Microactuator with Electrostatic Comb Drives
This paper reports the first design and its simulation and experimental results of a CMOS z-axis microactuator that utilizes the vertical electrostatic forces existing between multi-conductor comb fingers. The measured maximum displacement of the z-axis microactuator is 3.5 μm, and resonant frequency 6.17 kHz, which are in good agreement with the field simulation and the behavioral simulation r...
متن کاملMicromechanical Structures for Photonic Crystal Waveguide Switches
We report design and fabrication process of MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuators for a new type of optical switch integrated with photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides. Thin film poly-silicon electrostatic microactuator (either a cantilever or a bridge style) is placed over a PhC waveguide to induce optical modulation by means of mechanical motion in the evanescent fields. For low volt...
متن کاملModeling of a High Force Density Fishbone Shaped Electrostatic Comb Drive Microactuator
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a high force density fishbone shaped electrostatic comb drive actuator. This comb drive actuator has a branched structure similar to a fishbone, which is intended to increase the capacitance of the electrodes and hence increase the electrostatic actuation force. Two-dimensional finite element analysis was used to simulate the motion of the fishbo...
متن کاملWave propagation in a 3-D optical waveguide
In this work we study the problem of wave propagation in a 3-D optical fiber∗. The goal is to obtain a solution for the time-harmonic field caused by a source in a cylindrically symmetric waveguide. The geometry of the problem, corresponding to an open waveguide, makes the problem challenging. To solve it, we construct a transform theory which is a nontrivial generalization of a method for solv...
متن کاملFabrication of an integrated optical filter using a large-core multimode waveguide vertically coupled to a single-mode waveguide.
We demonstrate the feasibility of the process for fabricating a single-mode waveguide and a large-core multimode waveguide aligned vertically on the same substrate. Using this process, we propose and demonstrate a filter that drops optical signal propagating in a single-mode waveguide to a multimode waveguide in the specific wavelength interval by a long-period grating. We use perfluorocyclobut...
