An Equivalent Circuit Model for Semi-parallel Plate Electrostatic Torsion Mirror

Abstract

An equivalent circuit model for the semi-parallel plate electrostatic torsion mirror has been developed based on the electrical circuit simulator. An analytical model for the electrostatic torque has been translated into a nonlinear dependent current source as a function of input voltages that interpret the drive voltages and the mirror angle. A use of the suspension width as a fitting parameter explained well the experimental results of frequency response and the mirror's static deflection.
