摘要
The main torsional mode of electrostatically actuated micromirrors is known to be dominated by parametric resonance when the actuation is performed via in-plane comb fingers. Here, we show that, for specific geometrical features of the mirror, parametric resonance simultaneously activates a spurious yaw mode. Due to the large torsional rotations, the two modes are nonlinearly coupled, inducing mutual stiffness variations and an unexpected temperature dependence of the main mode. After presenting an experimental evidence of the coupling, we develop and discuss a numerical model capable of capturing the key phenomena and of providing guidelines for a robust design.
