Simulation of a Micro Optical Distance Sensor Realized by the LIGA Process
Guth H., Hellmann A., Sieber I., Eggert H., Mohr J., Nakajima H., Tanimot K., Usami T., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, DE
The aim of the presented work is to simulate and validate an ultra miniaturized optical distance sensor, which works by means of triangulation. The sensor is dedicated for a detection range of 1 to 6mm [...]
Wavelet Transform Image Compression Prototype
In this study, we seek to develop a low power, area efficient wavelet compression chip capable of reconstructing sharp images at acceptable noise levels. It can be used in conjunction with such devices as the [...]
Rectilinear Dynamics of Magnetically Driven Microsystems
The dynamic behavior of magnetically driven microsystems is investigated in this study. An experimental setup designed to simulate the dynamic response of a micro-roller element moving in rectilinear path under influence of an external magnetic [...]
System-Level Optical Models of 3-D Laser Projection Systems Using Micromirror Arrays
In this paper the development of system-level optical models that can be used e.g. for simulating entire laser projection systems is presented. After a short motivation ray optics as the simplest theory of optics is [...]
Physically Rigorous Modeling of Sensing Techniques Exploiting the Thermo-Optical and Electro-Optical Effect
The complex refractive index in semiconductors depends on several electrical, thermal, and mechanical state variables, e. g. carrier concentrations, lattice temperature, or mechanical stress. Making use of these dependencies, various internal laser probing techniques and [...]
CAD for Opto-Electronic Microsystems
Kurzweg T.P., Levitan S.P., Marchand P.J., Prough K.R., Chiarulli D.M., University of Pittsburgh, US
The use of MEMs technology has enabled the fabrica-tion of micro-optical and micro-electro-mechanical systems on a common substrate. This has led to new challenges in computer aided design of optical micro-electro-mechanical systems. We have extended [...]
