Abstract

A large displacement piston motion micromirror is designed, fabricated, and tested with device features tuned to applications requiring ultralow tilt. The fabricated MEMS mirror is based on electrothermal actuation and has a footprint of 1.9 mm × 1.9 mm with a mirror aperture of 1 mm. The application optimized device holds key features of ultralow maximum tilt of 0.25 ° and a strongly linear motion of 90 μm achievable at only 1.2 V. This device is further characterized in an interferometric system to determine the piston mode and the accurate piston displacement as a function of voltage, power, and frequency.
