Yurke | | Affilation: | Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Inc., U.S.A. | | Pages: | 589 - 592 | | Keywords: | squeeze-film damping, micromachined device, optical modulator | | Abstract: | This paper discusses a simple phenomenological model of squeeze-film gas damping which has been applied to the design of micromachined optical modulators operating at speeds in excess of 12Mbits/sec. The model is described by analytic expressions and does not rely on the Reynolds or Navier-Stokes equations. It shows, in particular, that to prevent ringing following a step change in driving force, devices intended to operate at speeds greater than a few Mbits/sec must be packaged at elevated gas pressure. Comparisons are made with experimental data. |  | View paper | | ISBN: | 0-9666135-4-6 |
