An automated method for measuring the dynamic deformation of a micromirror surface across its full deflection range at its resonance frequency was recently reported by DHM users at Silicon Austria ...

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are becoming increasingly important as researchers develop miniaturized mechanical devices for communications, biotechnology, and a variety of measurement ...

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Texas Instruments Inc. is entering the all-optical switching market from an unusual angle, targeting infrared Ethernet links for small-scale office networks of about 12 to 24 users ...

The unusual outer shell of a South American beetle, which can control both the polarization and wavelength of reflected light, could lead to a new breed of tunable micromirrors. A South American ...

Everybody understands that mask costs are part of the problem in SoC design. Specifically, mask costs put a very high floor under the minimum volume for which you can afford to create a derivative ...

The Dresden Research Institute has developed a CMOS-integrated micromirror array in which each mirror can be individually deflected around two tilting axes (right). There are 512 x 320 individually ...

Initially co-developed between Texas Instruments and Digital Projection, Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology has been around for more than 25 years. What started as a revolutionary technology ...

Today you may check your clothes in the mirror. Tomorrow you could be checking the mirrors on your clothes. MIT researchers have created high-performance mirrors in the shape of hairlike flexible ...
