Design and Modeling of Electrothermal Micromirrors
Students: Sagnik Pal 
Sponsor(s): NSF, Lantis Laser Inc.

 

Objectives
  • Understanding device behavior, improving performance, reliability and repeatability
  • Compact models for efficient and accurate simulations
  • Exploring possible applications

 

 

Accomplishments

Technical Approach
  • Finite element simulations

    • COMSOL

    • IntelliSuite, Coventorware etc.

  • Experiments for device characterization

  • Shock testing for reliability characterization

 

 Applications:
  •  Linear scanning in sample arm of dental OCT.
  • Lateral scanning for FTIR, reference arm of OCT etc.
  • Robust and efficient micromirror design
