Abstract

Presented here is the world’s first resonant 1D MEMS mirror achieving mechanical scanning angles exceeding ±45° and thus providing a field of view of up to 180°. The MEMS scanner features a 2 mm x 4 mm ellipsoid mirror plate and oscillates at a scan frequency of about 1.5 kHz. Integrated sensors and closed-loop control allow for an accurate position detection below 0.1°. To achieve the scan angles as well as to guarantee long lifetime and reliability, the MEMS mirror is hermetically sealed on wafer level by a dedicated glass cover and operated in vacuum.
