Optical Propagation Methodologies for Optical MEM Systems
Kurzweg T.P., Levitan S.P., Martinez J.A., Marchand P.J., Shomsky M.T., Chiarulli D.M., University of Pittsburgh, US
In this paper, we examine optical propagation techniques for modeling and simulating optical MEM systems. We determine an appropriate technique through studying two criteria: the requirements established by the physical properties of these systems and [...]
Analytic and Raytrace Modeling of a Miniaturized Infrared Spectrometer Module
When designing the construction of an optoelectronic module, the modeling of the system allows for the possibility to optimize geometries, materials and components in order to achieve optimal performance and cost effectiveness for the final [...]
Modeling and Design of a Micromechanical Phase-Shifting Gate Optical Modulator
This paper reports the modeling and design of a micromechanical optical modulator with a phase-shifting gate that utilizes optical interference effects to modulate light. The gate is opened or closed by microactuators integrated on the [...]
Modeling and Simulation of a Permanent Magnet Array in Elliptical Configurations
Permanent magnet arrays have advantages for magnetic field generation over the traditional current based magnetic flux sources, such as electromagnets, in that they do not require a power supply and cooling system. Magnetic flux density [...]
Micromirror Array Design and Simulation
The main objective of the research described is to design optimal principle of micromirror array and its manufacturing technology with maximum penentration of the reflected/non-reflected part of micromirror array using standard, easily available and cheap [...]
Simulation of Aluminum Micro-mirrors for Space Applications at Cryogenic Temperatures
Closed form and finite element models are developed to predict the device response of aluminum electrostatic torsion micro-mirrors fabricated on silicon substrate for space applications at operating temperatures of 30K. Initially, closed form expressions for [...]
Numerical Simulations to Predict the Functionality of Optical Devices
At the Institute of Microstructures in the Research Center of Karlsruhe (FZK) optical devices are developed in micro-structure technologies [1]. Because of the miniaturized dimensions of the optical components, a very high accuracy must be [...]
