Abstract
Simulations and fabrication of two novel multimorph based in-plane actuator designs are reported. The ~1mm in-plane displacement capability of the actuators is a two orders of magnitude improvement over existing designs. Possible applications include the piston actuation of vertical micromirrors and microlenses.
