FR4, a common printed circuit board substrate, and the standard PCB technology is used to develop a simple gimbaled scanner structure with high precision to implement into a low-cost and viable Fourier Transform Spectrometer. On top of the corner cube reflector based tilt-insensitive setup, magnetic actuation optimization using twin opposing magnets solution is found to be helpful to enhance interference data. Large Lorentz force is generated for out-ofplane deflection while the torsional motion of the scanner is restricted. ±162.8um out-ofplane translation at 149 Hz resonance is realized with torsion effect deteriorated result which corresponds to <1nm spectral resolution at visible wavelengths.Electrical electronics engineeringConference proceedinghttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84863576636anddoi=10.1115%2fDETC2011-48161andpartnerID=40andmd5=86b7e71b4676d0fa7dcfaba719038aa8324221300059N/A8957
