Abstract

This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of high-fill-factor micro-mirror arrays (MMAs) with large sub-apertures (i.e., mirror pixels). The MMAs are fabricated by a single-wafer fabrication process without any wafer bonding/transfer processes and are directly surface-mountable after the fabrication. A fabricated 4x4 MMA achieves a combined optical aperture of 6.4mmx 6.4mm with ∼90% fill factor and >±25° scan range in both x- and y- rotational axes. Preliminary optical-phased-array beam steering results are also demonstrated.
