摘要
This paper proposes using a micromachined corner cube reflector to transmit data digitally by modulating reflected light intensity. Corner cube reflectors ranging in size from 100 to 200 mu m have been built using hinged polysilicon plates. The reflectivity of polysilicon has been measured to be 24% and the total reflected power from the corner cube has been measured to be between 1 to 2% of the incident power. Orthogonality between plates is within roughly 8 mrad. Reflection from individual polysilicon plates has been modulated using electrostatic actuation with an applied voltage as low as 8 V.
