    A comb actuated lamellar grating interferometer based MEMS Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer device is designed, fabricated and characterized. The device operates at out-of-plane resonant mode which will allow ultra miniaturized, sensitive, robust, and fast spectrometers. As a novel approach pantograph type springs are used in the mechanical design to achieve high deflections. The dynamic deformation on the gratings is minimized using additional suspension springs. Optical simulations are conducted to extensively analyze the device performance in terms of spectral resolution and signal-to-bias ratio (SBR). In the light of simulations and experiments, the grating geometry is optimized for the region of wavelengths of interest (2.5-16 μm). Comb structures are designed and placed around pantograph springs for low voltage operation. The fabrication process is developed based on CMOS compatible bulk micromachining of a silicon-on-insulator wafer. A maximum peak to peak mechanical deflection of 478 μm is acquired with 50 V p-p input voltage in ambient pressure.

    Current Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) systems have very good spectral resolution, but are bulky, sensitive to vibrations, and slow. We developed a new FTIR system using a microelectromechanical system (MEMS)-based lamellar grating interferometer that is fast, compact, and achromatic (i.e., does not require a beam splitter). The MEMS device has > 10 mm(2) active surface area, up to +/- 325 mu m mechanical displacement, and a 343 Hz resonant operation frequency. The system uses a 5 MHz bandwidth custom infrared (IR) detector and a small emission area custom blackbody source to achieve fast interferogram acquisition and compact form factor. Effects of lamellar grating period, detector size, laser reference, apodization, and averaging of data on the spectral resolution are discussed. The measurement time ranges from 1.5 to 100 ms depending on the averaging time. In the target range of 2.5-16 mu m (625- 4000 cm(-1)) a spectral resolution of 15-20 cm(-1) is demonstrated. The measurements are shown to be stable over a long time. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

    Design, fabrication, and characterization of a high-performance micromachined lamellar-grating-interferometer-based Fourier transform spectrometer are presented. The device is designed to give high deflections with very low dynamic deformation and good mode separation. Mechanical self-stoppers are introduced to withstand accelerations larger than 500 g due to shock. The clear aperture area of the grating is about 10 mm(2). The maximum deflection while electrostatically actuated at ambient conditions is +/- 356 mu m at 71.2 V and 340 Hz, setting a record for comparable devices. At a pressure of 8.6 Pa, the same deflection is reached at 4.3 V. Six hundred eighty spectra per second can be recorded with a resolution of 14 cm(-1). With a HeNe laser at 633 nm, a spectral resolution of 0.54 nm (22 cm(-1)) is reached using electrostatic actuation. The microelectromechanical systems device is integrated into a compact Fourier transform spectrometer setup including a blackbody source, an infrared (IR) detector, and a visible laser using the device back side for reference. Early results with IR interferograms are also reported. In addition, the devices are actuated with pressure waves in the ambient air to reach deflections up to +/- 700 mu m. With this setup, the spectrum of a red laser is measured with a resolution of 0.3 nm (12.4 cm (1)).
