Abstract

The methods for eliminating thermal effects in optical microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices were discussed. The methods discussed include high reflectivity optical coatings to reduce absorption, compensation layers within optical coatings that cancel out deformation and direct electrostatic control of device thermal conductivity. The results showed that the failure of the MEMS device was because of change in curvature which lead to defocus and astigmatism.
