Scanning two axis (tip-tilt) MEMS mirror (or “micromirror”) is an optical beam-steering (or 2D optical scanning) technology that is used in many industries. There are several major benefits of the Mirrorcle Technologies Inc. tip-tilt MEMS mirror over competing products. Gimbal-less Two-Axis Scanning Micromirror Devices based on ARI-MEMS fabrication technology initially developed through research projects based on ARI-MEMS fabrication technology at the Adriatic Research Institute (\u201cARI\u201d)<\/a> in Berkeley, CA, the Gimbal-less Two-Axis Scanning Micromirror Devices operates in ultra low power environments and provides very rapid optical beam scanning in two axes. The devices deflect laser beams to optical scanning angles of up to 32\u00b0 at high speeds in both axes.\u00a0Compared to existing large-scale galvanometer optical scanners, our devices require several orders of magnitude less driving power. A continuous full-speed operation of our electro-static actuators dissipates less than a few milliwatts of power.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

MirrorcleTech devices are made entirely of single-crystal silicon, resulting in excellent repeatability and reliability. Optically flat and smooth mirrors are coated with a thin film with desired reflectivity. Larger mirrors can be bonded onto actuators for custom aperture sizes. Mirror sizes from 0.8mm to 7.5mm in diameter are currently available in stock. Sizes up to 9.0mm were successfully demonstrated<\/a> in special applications.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

MirrorcleTech’s MEMS micromirror technology is highly versatile and adaptable to various applications. Some devices are fabricated with somewhat generic quasi-static (point-to-point) performance specifications. Other devices are highly customizable to achieve specific set of specifications, such as e.g. projection-displays. While the descriptions below mainly pertain to dual-axis devices<\/strong>, there are also multiple single-axis<\/strong> designs available, both point-to-point<\/strong> (quasi-static) and resonant<\/strong> type.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]

Mirrorcle Technologies MEMS devices address a wide range of applications that require optical beam steering. As optical scanning or beam steering appears in various industries and numerous applications, our scanning mirrors are most beneficial in those applications that require miniature, high speed, low-power, or low-cost solutions. Some of the Application uses<\/a> of MirrorcleTech devices currently under development are:<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text]
