Early-generation waveguide arrays made of silicon (Si) and fused silica (SiO2) were micromachined for infrared (IR) neural stimulation and optogenetics applications in able to provide comprehensive and selective access to distributed targets. Edge-coupled multimode fibers delivered light through the optrodes. Maximum normalized output power from the tips, with respect to the fiber output, was determined as 0.33 and 0.71 for silicon and glass optrodes, respectively.

The ion image sensor was invented. The device enables two dimensional visualization of both the ion and optical imaging of chemical activity of solutions and cell activity. The CMOS device consists of an array of CCDs covered with functionalized membrane. Changes in the concentration and two dimensional distributions of several ions are detected by charge accumulation. We have recently reported on the use of the sensor for real time imaging of acetylcholine (ACh) enzyme reactions. Insights in the variation of the concentration of ACh may lead to new methods for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

We explore a technique for MEMS in situ reversible optical transduction of mechanical vibrations. While performing preliminary experiments, we found that the opto-mechanical coupling is strong enough at this scale to lead to hysteresis behavior.

We describe a MEMS micromirror for modulation of X-ray pulses needed for critical time-resolved process studies of cyclical and far-from-equilibrium phenomena. This MEMS micromirror leverages grazing-angle reflection of X-ray pulses to generate its temporal modulation response. The generated responses are 1.5μs wide for 8keV X-rays and have been successfully used to isolate single X-ray pulses separated 1.59μs from their suppressed neighboring pulses.

An actuator was designed and fabricated to actively tune the nanometer-scaled gap between quantum wells in a collapsed cantilever structure. Maximum actuation of 55nm was achieved. Photoluminescence from the quantum wells at the collapsed cantilever was observed at cryogenic temperature, indicating that the wells remained intact after fabrication.

We present a prototype of a micro panoramic vision system that includes five micro-cameras controlled simultaneously by mechanical arm-like actuators, structurally similar to umbrella ribs. Each camera rests on an arm that can be oriented at an angle simultaneously with the other four arms. This arrangement offers reconfigurable angle of view and depth perception. Stitching of the images from individual cameras yields a horizontal field of view of 360°. This micro-camera set is configured in the context of laparoscopic surgery and single-port surgery.
