Standing-wave Fourier transform spectrometer based on integrated MEMS mirror and thin-film photodetector

We report a novel, miniature Fourier transform spectrometer with a linear architecture that works by sampling a standing wave. The spectrometer consists of an electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical mirror with on-resonance displacement of up to 65 /spl mu/m, a thin-film photodetector, and...

Zusammenfassung:We report a novel, miniature Fourier transform spectrometer with a linear architecture that works by sampling a standing wave. The spectrometer consists of an electrostatically actuated microelectromechanical mirror with on-resonance displacement of up to 65 /spl mu/m, a thin-film photodetector, and an electrical back plane for actuating the mirror. The integrated device offers mirror stability and fixed relative alignment of the three components. The spectrometer has better than 32-nm resolution at 633 nm.
