A silicon microspeaker for hearing instruments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A micromachined loudspeaker for audible acoustic instruments is designed, fabricated and tested. A single loop voice coil on a flexible polyimide membrane is conceived to serve as the sound generating plate, and is driven by electromagnetic actuation. The diameter of the microspeaker is 5 mm × 5 mm, and it is fabricated by a low temperature micromachining process. At a driving voltage of as low as 1.5 V, the microspeaker output sound pressure level is 93 dB at 5 kHz when measured in a 2 cc volume.

متن کاملA diffraction-compensating 0-25 ns free space terahertz delay line for coherent quantum control.
Free space delay lines provide pulses of variable time spacing for optical experiments such as pump-probe spectroscopy and coherent quantum control, including spin and photon echo techniques. However, in the terahertz region of the spectrum, beam divergence due to diffraction limits the useful length of traditional free space delay lines. We present a novel double-folded variable delay line for...
