Large Out-of-Plane Deflection MEMS Actuators for Optical Applications

The design and fabrication of an electrothermal MEMS actuation structure which is capable of producing large out-of-plane deflection is presented. The actuators are used to move a 1 mm<sup>2</sup> mirror structure, where the large deflection allows one to achieve large beam steering angl...
