摘要： A cost-effective broadband tunable Fabry-Perot interferometer uses entropic, rather than enthalpic, materials to provide the compliant support for the interferometer's movable mirror. Entropic materials exhibit an entropic plateau region over a wide frequency range with a Young's modulus much lower than enthalpic materials, linear elastic behavior over a wide deformation range, and, in certain geometries, energy and stress behavior that tend to stabilize the movable mirror during deformation. The compliant support can be configured in a variety of geometries including compression, tension, sheer and diaphragm and of a variety of materials including elastomers, aerogels or other long chained polymers.

摘要： A method for forming a plurality of parallel metal lines on a substrate of thin film elastomeric material and a wire grid polarizer formed by such method. A sacrificial layer is formed by coating the substrate with a water soluble polymer while the substrate is stretched. The existing tensile force is removed, leaving an undulating topology of buckled sacrificial layer material. A masking layer is then deposited at an oblique angle and then fractured into parallel lines of material by application of a second tensile force. Unmasked portions of the sacrificial layer are removed by dry etch. A metallic layer is then deposited and a lift off process employed to remove remaining portions of the sacrificial layer and materials deposited thereover. Upon removal of the second tensile force, the substrate returns to its unstressed length with metal lines of predetermined periodicity thereon.

摘要： A sequence of MEMS processing steps are used to construct a 2D optical switch on a single substrate. In a typical optical switch configuration, an array of hinged micromirrors are supported by an array of posts at a 45° angle to the input and output optical paths and positioned parallel to the substrate either above, below or, perhaps, in the optical paths. The application of a voltage between the mirror and its control electrodes switches the mirror to a vertical position where it intercepts and deflects light travelling down the optical paths. The posts are suitably oriented at a 90° angle with respect to the mirror hinges so that they do not interfere with the optical paths and, may be configured to function as baffles to reduce crosstalk between adjacent optical paths.

摘要： An electrostatically actuated micromirror light modulator that exhibits increased deflection range, better charge efficiency and improved electrostatic stability. A thin insulating membrane decouples the electron beam from the micromirror array inside the vacuum cell. The membrane is just thick enough to stop the incident electrons from penetrating through to the mirrors but is thin enough to maintain resolution of the deposited charge pattern. An equipotential layer beneath the mirror array prevents any attractive force from being developed due to the accumulation of static charge on the surface of the light modulator that may otherwise cause the mirror to snap-over and become stuck to the substrate.

摘要： Electrode surfaces are coated with a passivating material (silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide or titanium dioxide) or with a reflecting material (chromium or chromium and gold) or with a special alignment material (carbon) using standard vacuum sputtering, vacuum evaporation, electrodeposition, or chemical vapor deposition techniques. After sufficient thickness of material has been deposited, the substrate is exposed to a broad or narrow beam of neutralized argon ions of a few kilo-electron-volts energy. The beam of argon ions is incident at a grazing angle to the surface, typically 20.degree.. Exposure of the overcoating results in a microscopic condition believed to comprise a "corrugated" surface with "ridges" and "valleys" parallel to the direction of the incident beam. These microscopically fine grooves or streaks are (1) reproducibly effective in causing parallel alignment of the liquid crystal molecules, (2) are durable to repeated cleaning procedures and air-bake treatments, and (3) are amenable to production applications in conjunction with vacuum deposition equipment.
