Lott | | Affilation: | Air Force Institute of Technology, USA | | Pages: | 266 - 269 | | Keywords: | WDM, MEMS, tunable filter, tunable VCSEL, hybrid integration | | Abstract: | We characterize our novel mechanical structures for flip-bonded hybrid micro-electro-mechanically (MEM) tunable filters (MEM-TF) and MEM-tunable vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (MEM-TVCSELs) by comparing simulations with foundry fabricated actuators. Two of our prototypes, each with different flexure thickness, have analytically simulated and measured pull-in voltages of (11.6 V, 11.8 ± 0.1 V) and (8.4 V, 7.7 ± 0.5 V) respectively. We believe our hybrid approach will reduce cost, shorten development time, enable use of standard flip-chip technology and IC/MEMS foundries, and offer materials flexibility since the components do not need to be lattice matched. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9708275-7-1 |
