Title :
Optical MEMS Based on High-Reflectivity Photonic Crystals
Author_Institution :
Stanford Univ., Stanford
Abstract :
Interference between propagating waves and crystal modes determines transmission and reflection of 2-D Photonic Crystals. This effect enables spectral synthesis and numerous optical devices, including MEMS scanners with PC reflectors and fiber-optic acoustic sensors.
