| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Generally, micromirrors are required to be large displacement or rotational angle with lower voltage. Therefore, the micromirrors have been operated near the resonant frequency for achievement the large motion with lower voltage in laser scanning instruments, basically. An acoustic cavity which confines acoustic energy is for increasement of the displacement or rotational angle of the resonant devices which radiate acoustic energy to atmosphere. In the experiment, comparing with placement on flat plate, the amplitude increasement of the fabricated micro scanner structure placed on the acoustic cavity with appropriate acoustic cavity length was observed. The effectiveness of the acoustic cavity for micro scanner structure was confirmed in experiment. And calculation environment of the acoustic cavity of an arbitral shape using numerical method has been also constructed.
