Abstract

We have successfully demonstrated sidewall-electrode actuation of 3-D MEMS mirrors. Improved actuation linearity and reduction of the spring-softening effect are achieved. Sidewall actuation enables better mirror dynamics including large snap-down angles, reduced driving voltages, and fast switching times.
