Micro scanning mirrors (MSMs) extend the range and field of view of LiDARs, medical imaging devices, and laser projectors. However, a new class of soft-hinged MSMs contains out-of-plane translation in addition to the 2 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http:
To address the communication and ranging challenges caused by underwater environment, we design dual modal devices for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). The dual-modal design builds upon a co-axial ultrasonic and green laser beams which leverage different signal diverging patterns and different…
This paper reports the development of a compact optical-acoustic frontend module for underwater communication and ranging. The module is enabled by a new water-immersible MEMS scanning mirror (WIMSM). It is capable of transmitting, receiving and steering co-centered and co-directional laser and ultr…
