Abstract:The main advantages of piezoelectrical actuators are their high resolution in motion and their excellent dynamic behavior. Especially the very short response time of solid state actuators presents new opportunities in developing high dynamical systems with unsurpassable characteristics. New concepts of piezoelectrically driven microoptical devices, e.g. optical fiber switches, intensity modulators and choppers, can be developed. Very compact systems with parallel motion and high accuracy can be realized by the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
