摘要
We present an experimental demonstration of a novel, integrated readout approach for measuring the suspended height of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) structures. The approach is based on creating a resonant optical cavity between the suspended MEMS structure and the substrate that the MEMS structure is anchored to. The resulting interferometric effect causes modulation of an optical laser signal which is strongly dependent on the position of the MEMS device.
