A Micro-Opto-Mechanical-System (MOMS) based technology for the fabrication of Fabry-Perot interferometers on optical fiber is presented. Exploiting silicon micromachining techniques, the fabrication of ultrasonic receiver arrays suitable for wideband and high performance applications is demonstrated. Thanks to their high miniaturization level, the devices presented may be suited to minimally invasive endoscopic applications in medicine.

Abstract

A Micro-Opto-Mechanical-System (MOMS) based technology for the fabrication of Fabry-Perot interferometers on optical fiber is presented. Exploiting silicon micromachining techniques, the fabrication of ultrasonic receiver arrays suitable for wideband and high performance applications is demonstrated. Thanks to their high miniaturization level, the devices presented may be suited to minimally invasive endoscopic applications in medicine.
