  • Multi-axis, large tilt angle, wafer level micromirror array for large scale beam steering applications
    Patent number: 8760743
    Abstract: A system 120 for reflecting or redirecting incident light, microwave or sound energy includes a first substrate 144 configured to support an array of reflective elements 130 that can be angularly displaced through a range of substantially 90 degrees in response to a reflector angle control signal and a controller programmed to generate the reflector angle control signal to achieve desired incident energy beam or wavefront re-direction. The reflective elements 130 preferably comprise MEMS micro-reflector elements hingedly or movably attached to the first substrate 130 and define a reflective surface that is aimed at the source of incident light, microwave or sound energy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2014
    Assignee: Cornell University
    Inventors: Amit Lal, Serhan M. Ardanuc
