Parametric Resonance in Electrostatically Actuated Micromirrors
TL;DR: This work considers an electrostatically actuated torsional micromirror, a key element of recent optical microdevices, and shows that the mirror motion is an example of parametric resonance, activated when the drive frequency is twice the natural frequency of the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Response of PZT-Actuated Resonant Micromirrors
Attilio Frangi,Andrea Opreni,Nicolo Boni,Patrick Fedeli,Roberto Carminati,Massimiliano Merli,Gianluca Mendicino +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on various sources of nonlinearities induced by the interaction with the surrounding fluid and by occurrence of geometric large transformations in piezo-micromirrors with large opening angles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Nonlinear Response of Piezo-Micromirrors with the Harmonic Balance Method
TL;DR: In this article, the authors address the simulation and testing of MEMS micromirrors with hardening and softening behavior excited with patches of piezoelectric materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mode Coupling and Parametric Resonance in Electrostatically Actuated Micromirrors
Attilio Frangi,Andrea Guerrieri,Nicolo Boni,Roberto Carminati,Marco Soldo,Gianluca Mendicino +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that, for specific geometrical features of the mirror, parametric resonance simultaneously activates a spurious yaw mode, and a numerical model is developed capable of capturing the key phenomena and of providing guidelines for a robust design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Characterization of a New Wide-Angle Micromirror With PZT Actuation and PZR Sensing
Paolo Frigerio,Bianca di Diodoro,Valeria Rho,Roberto Carminati,Nicolo Boni,Giacomo Langfelder +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a long-term characterization of a newly designed microelectromechanical-system (MEMS) micromirror capable of achieving a field-of-view (FOV) of almost 94°.
