Static and Dynamic Characterization of MEMS Micromirror and Microshutter arrays: Reliability and Lifetime
(2024)
Buildings are responsible for 40 % of the primary energy consumption and 36 % of the total CO2 emissions. There is a huge potential to decrease energetic consumption for lighting and heating/cooling by substituting the 85 % of inefficient glazing areas in EU’s buildings with energy efficient smart glazing windows. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based smart glazing system comprising of millions of micro mirrors (invisible to the bare eye) is investigated here. This concept allows dynamic light steering by ...

Design and Implementation of Novel Optical Fabry-Pérot Arrays for Medical Applications
(2024)
Optical sensing systems find a wide range of applications, especially in the medical field, for intelligent, patient-operated health monitoring and early diagnosis, facilitating immediate responses to warnings. Advances in technology have enabled sensors miniaturization with spectrometers using low-cost Fabry-Pérot filters, allowing integration into mobile phones and wearable devices without compromising their resolution. The challenge in filter fabrication is deforming supporting posts deformation during polymer ...
