Analog tunable gratings driven by thin-film piezoelectric microelectromechanical actuators.
We present a microfabricated grating whose period can be tuned in analog fashion to within a fraction of a nanometer. The tunable angular range is more than 400 microrad in the first diffracted order. The design concept consists of a diffractive grating defined onto a 400-nm membrane, with the membrane subsequently strained in the direction perpendicular to the grating grooves by thin-film piez...
متن کاملThermo-Mechanical Coupling Mechanism in NEMS Resonators
An optically thin resonator suspended over a substrate and illuminated with a laser forms an interference field that couples deflection of the resonator to absorption within it. For high enough laser powers, such resonators have been shown to be interferometrically transduced to stable oscillations due to the feedback between heating and deflection. The coupling between thermal stresses, deflec...
متن کاملControlling bistability in microelectromechanical resonators.
For a microelectromechanical (MEM) resonator, the combination of mechanical nonlinearity and electrical driving force can lead to bistability. In such a case, the system exhibits two coexisting stable oscillatory states (attractors): one with low and another with high energy. Under the influence of noise, with high probability the system can be perturbed into the low-energy state. We propose a ...
متن کاملTunable coupling regimes of silicon microdisk resonators using MEMS actuators.
Tunable coupling regimes of a silicon microdisk resonator controlled by MEMS (microelectromechanical system) actuation are demonstrated for the first time. By varying the gap spacing between the waveguide and the disk, this microresonator can dynamically operate in either under-, ciritcal or over-coupling regime. The waveguide transmittance is suppressed by 30 dB in critical coupling, and the q...
متن کاملApplication of Mass Transport in Solid Electrolyte Films in Tunable Microelectromechanical Resonators
This paper reports on Ag-Ge-Se solid electrolyte films which can support the rapid net displacement of metal mass from a silver source to a target location within a MEMS device at low voltage and current. This displacement of mass can be used to alter material parameters and we have demonstrated a tunable MEMS resonator using this principle. In this application, the electrodeposited mass is mad...
