提出微型光热驱动机构(PTMA)及其显微运动测量的新方法,设计与微加工制作一种长度为1.5mm的非对称型PTMA,并开展光热驱动的实验研究。利用该测量方法,在波长为650nm、功率为9mW的半导体激光控制下,对PTMA的振幅与频率等显微运动特性进行测量和分析,测得最大振幅为10.3μm,理想响应频率范围为0~7Hz,并绘制出其运动轨迹。研究结果表明,这类新型PTMA可在激光操控下产生不同振幅(位移)、不同频率(速度)的微运动,为机电系统提供了一种新的微驱动方法。
A new type of photothermal microactuator (PTMA) was developed and its microscopic motion measurement method was presented. A 1.5mm--length asymmetric PTMA was designed and micro--manufactured. Using the microscopic motion measurement method, the amplitude and frequency of the PTMA were measured and analyzed under the control of 650nm/gmW laser. The maximum amplitude was measured to be 10.3gm,while the response frequency was between 0-7Hz. The motion lotus was also plotted. The results indicate that such a PTMA is capable of generating micro-- motion with different amplitude (displacement) and different frequency (speed), providing a novel micro--actuating method for micro electromechanical system(MEMS).
