Micromirror Device With Adjacently Disposed Support Region
An optical system including two or more micromirror arrays is disclosed. The micromirror arrays include alternately disposed transparent and opaque surfaces. The system spatially separates an image toward the micromirror arrays, the image is reflected from the micromirrors, and the reflected image is combined into a composite image that can be displayed or projected. Control and support circuitry that is typically disposed beneath the transparent surfaces of the micromirror arrays can be disposed beneath the opaque surfaces.

Abstract:
A MEMS optical device includes a MEMS image array and a self-aligned microlens array. The MEMS image array includes a number of individual channels. The microlens array includes individual microlenses, each of which is associated with one of the channels of the MEMS image array. The microlens array is formed directly on the MEMS image array using semiconductor fabrication techniques. Each microlens is automatically aligned with its respective channel within the image array. The need for precise and expensive manual alignment of the MEMS image array and the microlens arrays is avoided. Improvements in the fill factor and the transmission efficiency of the optical device are realized. Further, by tailoring the refractive index of the lens relative to both the substrate and the ambient air, the total internal reflection phenomenon can be exploited, for additional improvement in the transmission efficiency of the optical device.

Abstract:
A reflective hybrid analog phase shifter is detailed which is operable in the X-band, and which exhibits minimal phase shift variation with higher power loadings. A pair of back-to-back connected Schottky varactor diodes are serially connected to each of the phase shifting ports of a 3 dB coupler. The Scottky varactor diodes are reverse biased to permit continuous variation of the phase shift as a function of analog bias potential. A monolithically fabricated implementation of this circuit design is detailed.
