Abstract

The integration of a thin film optoelectronic device onto a micromachined movable platform is reported in this letter. This micro-opto-mechanical system, consisting of a thin film AlGaAs/GaAs double heterostructure p-i-n detector integrated onto a polyimide micromachined platform on silicon, has applications which range from fiber optic coupling to sensors. Fiber optic coupling is demonstrated using a stationary fiber positioned above the thin film detector. By applying a voltage between the platform and actuation strips, the platform moves and a change in fiber to detector coupling is observed. >
