Fabrication Techniques for Micro-Optical Device Arrays
“Fabrication Techniques for Micro-Optical Device Arrays” by Ryan D. Conk, published by BiblioScholar on November 19, 2012, is a focused exploration of the fabrication methods for micro-optical devices, which are essential in military data storage, sensors, and communication systems. This edition comprises 114 pages and is presented in English, detailing the two types of micro-optical device arrays: individually addressable and matrix addressable. The book emphasizes the potential of matrix addressable arrays to facilitate the creation of large, dense configurations that could enhance optical interconnect systems for future military applications.
Readers will find a thorough investigation into new fabrication techniques aimed at assembling dense matrix-addressed arrays of micro-optical devices, including vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. The author utilizes a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) foundry process to design a test chip featuring various array configurations, allowing for an exploration of innovative assembly techniques. Additionally, the book introduces a new photolithographic mask set designed for assembly through flip-chip bonding and fluidic self-assembly techniques, providing valuable insights into the advancements in micro-optical device technology.
Official synopsis Publisher
Micro-optical devices are vital components of conventional military data storage, sensor, and communication systems. Two types of micro-optical device arrays exist: individually addressable and matrix addressable. The matrix addressable array has a drastically reduced number of metal lines and can potentially be fabricated into large, dense (over 1k elements) arrays. Such arrays are expected to enable the development of extremely high bandwidth optical interconnect systems for future military applications including optical computing and short-haul fiber optical communication systems. I investigate new fabrication techniques for the assembly of dense matrix-addressed arrays of micro-optical devices such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Using a micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) foundry process, I design a test chip that consists of a variety of array configurations to explore possible assembly techniques. I also design a new photolithographic mask set based on assembly by flip-chip bonding and fluidic self-assembly techniques.
