    摘要: A method for calibrating an interferometer uses an actuator adapted to control an optical gap in response to application of an electrical signal. The interferometer is illuminated with a beam of light having a predetermined substantially monochromatic wavelength, oriented at a first predetermined angle of incidence, and light reflected from the interferometer at a second predetermined angle is detected while varying an electrical signal applied to the actuator, thereby establishing a calibrated relationship between the applied electrical signal and an optical path length of the interferometer.

    摘要: The present invention provides a data controller for controlling an electrostatically-controlled micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) device having a variable operating characteristic based on control data. The data controller comprises a data comparator and an update circuit. The data comparator is configured to receive control data of a present update cycle, to compare the control data of the present update cycle to control data of a previous update cycle on which the variable operating characteristic of the MEMS device is presently based, and to provide an update signal having a first state when the control data of the present update cycle is substantially equal to the control data of the previous update cycle. The update circuit is configured to receive the control data of the present update cycle, to receive the update signal, and to provide the control data of the present update cycle to the MEMS device, wherein the update circuit does not provide the control data of the present update cycle to the MEMS device when the update signal is in the first state.

    摘要: A Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometer includes substantially parallel first and second reflecting surfaces spaced apart by an optical gap between the first and second reflecting surfaces. The FP interferometer also has a mechanism for controlling the optical gap. The mechanism includes a plurality of electrostatic control plates. Each electrostatic control plate has a fixed control-plate area. Each control plate is adapted to control the optical gap by application of a control-plate voltage. The control-plate areas are related by integral ratios.
