光学 MEMS

Single-Axis micro-mirror

MEMS micro-mirror  is a key element of many optical system. Mirror performance are measured thanks to the unique time-sequence of 3d topography allows characterization of :

  • Surface topography : surface finish, flatness
  • Dynamic properties : modal frequency, mode shapes

Efficient characterization of mode shapes

Micro-mirror topography is recorded along the MEMS excitation period for each mode shape. The full-field measurement allow the MEMS designer to characterize :

  • Displacement amplitude
  • Mirror surface deformation
  • Mode shapes

Modal frequency determination in Vacuum

The DHM® unique optical configuration and the large objective collection enables measurement through glass viewport.

Two methods are used to compute modal frequency :

  • Bode diagrams by performing a frequency scan
  • Fourier Transform by exciting the device with broadband signal
Bode Diagram : amplitude comparison between atmospheric and vacuum condition

Fast In-plane displacement

Optical shutter is in-plane optical MEMS : silicon parts move in liquids between two glasses. Optimization of in-plane performance requires minimization of out-of-plane displacement.

In- and out-of-plane displacement are recorded simultaneously

The DHM®  records time-sequence of 3D topographies up to 25 MHZ, this unique set of data is recorded with a single instrument. It is the sole instrument that measures the evolution of 3D topography along the excitation period.  This unique set of data contains also 2 analog and digital electrical inputs.

Recording of in- and out-of-plane is perfectly synchronized, there is no bias introduce by a scanning mechanism or measurement combination.

  • In-plane displacement
  • Out-of-plane displacement

Measurement in liquid

The silicon elements are moving between two glasses in liquid. Compensation of liquid and glass thickness is possible thanks to the DHM®  unique optical configuration.
