摘要
We present the design and fabrication of a micromachined GaAs/AlGaAs filter for fast wavelength tuning. The size reduction of tunable micromachined filters is carried out to increase the speed of wavelength tuning. We fabricated micromachined filters having a miniature filter structure with an air gap of 300 nm and a short cantilever of 45 pm length, and exhibiting a fast response time of below 2.5 mus.
