Design and Modeling of Polysilicon Electrothermal Actuators for a MEMS Mirror with Low Power Consumption

Endoscopic optical-coherence tomography (OCT) systems require low cost mirrors with small footprint size, out-of-plane deflections and low bias voltage. These requirements can be achieved with electrothermal actuators based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We present the design and modeling...
