摘要
Two kinds of Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System, (MEMS) mirrors, supported by cantilever or torsion. beams, were designed and fabricated Their mechanical response to electrostatic force was theoretically analyzed according to the balance of the electrostatic moment with the spring torque. The measured capacitance change agrees well with the calculated one These micro-mirrors are expected to be applied to the attenuators for use in a wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) transport systems.
