Results on a tunable resonant cavity enhanced detector (RCED) in the mid-infrared employing a vertically moving, comb-drive actuated micromirror are presented. A wide tuning range of 0.7 mum and a low order configuration have been achieved with a micromirror displacement range of 2.5 mum and a reduction of the optical cavity length respectively.

Simulation and measurements of achromatic variable-focus multi-chamber micro-lenses are presented. By using three liquid-filled chambers with well-defined dispersion behavior, separated by highly elastic silicone membranes, this achromatic optical system can be tuned in focal length by adjusting the pressures inside the chambers. Tunable achromatic micro-lenses are thus feasible.

A symmetric cross-bar spring structure is employed to improve the performance of a two-axis gimbal-less micromirror driven by radial vertical combdrive actuators. The actuators are hidden underneath the mirror to minimize the device form factor. The device is fabricated by the SUMMiT-V surface micromachining process. The entire improved cross-bar spring structure is made of the same layer with a 1-mum thickness and the torsion springs are shortened to suppress the lateral instability. The mechanical rotation angles are plusmn5.33deg (50.7 V) and plusmn6.04deg (52.8 V) for rotation about the x- and y-axes, respectively.

A MEMS-based deformable mirror constructed using single-crystal PMN-PT for use in ophthalmologic adaptive optics is presented. The fabrication process and the results of characterization of the DM are described. A large stroke and high operating bandwidth assure that the DM can be a promising wavefront corrector.

The hybrid integration of multiple chips in three dimensions is an important technology for realizing highly functional, compact optoelectronic microsystems. In this study, three-dimensional integration of optical chips was successfully performed using Au-Au surface-activated bonding (bonding temperature: 150degC). The fabricated microsystem consists of two elements: i) a micromachined silicon optical bench incorporating a bonded laser diode, micromirrors, and through-hole electrodes; and ii) a glass substrate incorporating bonded photodiodes, electrical interconnections, and refractive microlenses. The silicon optical bench and the glass substrate were vertically stacked by surface-activated bonding. The size of the fully integrated microsystem is only 2.6 mm times 2.6 mm times 1 mm thick. The design and fabrication process allow chip-scale and wafer-level packaging. In addition, application for laser Doppler velocimeter sensor is discussed.
