چکیده
A spatial light modulator is described which consists of a row of 1200 electrostatically deflectable mirror elements. This deformable mirror device is included in an acoustooptic spectrum analyzer and, as such, allows the removal of interfering signals from 333 frequency bands. Radiometric scans demonstrate the contrast and resolution possible with the device. Based on these results, the suitability of the device to frequency excisors and optical switches is considered.

A micromachined deformable mirror for optical wavefront compensation
A silicon micromachined deformable mirror QiDM) has been developed by Boston University and Boston Micromachines Corporation (BMC). The pDM employs a flexible silicon mirror supported by mechanical attachments to an array of electrostatic parallel plate actuators. The integrated system of mirror and actuators was fabricated by surface micromachining using polycrystalline silicon thin films. The...

This paper presents a novel method for the fabrication of polymeric deformable micromirror based on electrostatic actuator. Deformable micromirros are commonly used to correct optical wavefront aberrations in the adaptive optic systems, and thus, they need a deformable diaphragm. In this study, the diaphragm of micromirror is made from SU-8 polymer which is mounted on the fixed electrode arrays...
متن کاملMEMS arrays for deformable mirrors
A new class of silicon-based deformable mirror for use in optical applications such as adaptive optical systems and optical correlators is being built. The mirror will be a massively parallel system of electrostatically-controlled, interconnected microactuators that can be coordinated to achieve precise actuation and control at a macroscopic level. The deformable mirror system described here wi...
متن کاملComparison of fiber-based Sagnac interferometers for self-switching of optical pulses
Self-switching of ultrashort optical pulses in a gain-distributed nonlinear amplifying fiber loop mirror (NALM) is investigated numerically in the soliton regime. Switching characteristics of this device is compared to those of the nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) and the conventional NALM that uses a lumped gain. We show that, as compared with the NOLM or the conventional NALM, the gain-di...
