Abstract: A wavelength tunable gain medium with the use of micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) based Fabry-Perot (FP) filter cavity tuning is provided as a tunable laser. The system comprises a laser cavity and a filter cavity for wavelength selection. The laser cavity consists of a gain medium such as a Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA), two collimating lenses and an end reflector. The MEMS-FP filter cavity comprises a fixed reflector and a moveable reflector, controllable by electrostatic force. By moving the MEMS reflector, the wavelength can be tuned by changing the FP filter cavity length. The MEMS FP filter cavity displacement can be tuned discretely with a step voltage, or continuously by using a continuous driving voltage. The driving frequency for continuous tuning can be a resonance frequency or any other frequency of the MEMS structure, and the tuning range can cover different tuning ranges such as 30 nm, 40 nm, and more than 100 nm.

Abstract: In an example of a method for making a nano-structure, an aluminum layer is partially anodized to form a porous anodic alumina structure. The aluminum layer is positioned on an oxidizable material layer. The porous anodic alumina structure is exposed to partial anisotropic etching to form tracks within the porous anodic alumina structure. A remaining portion of the aluminum layer is further anodized to form paths where the tracks are formed. The oxidizable material layer is anodized to from an oxide, where the oxide grows through the paths formed within the porous anodic alumina structure to form a set of super nano-pillars.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a micromechanical component including a substrate and a cap connected to the substrate and together with the substrate enclosing a first cavity, a first pressure prevailing and a first gas mixture with a first chemical composition being enclosed in the first cavity. An access opening, connecting the first cavity to surroundings of the micromechanical component, is formed in the substrate or the cap. The first pressure and/or the first chemical composition is adjusted in the first cavity. The access opening is sealed by introducing energy and heat into an absorbing part of the substrate or cap with the aid of a laser. A recess is formed in a surface of the substrate or of the cap facing away from the first cavity in the area of the access opening for accommodating a material area of the substrate or the cap converted into a liquid aggregate state.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a MEMs package having a heating element configured to adjust a pressure within a hermetically sealed chamber by inducing out-gassing of into the chamber, and an associated method. In some embodiments, the MEMs package has a CMOS substrate having one or more semiconductor devices arranged within a semiconductor body. A MEMs structure is connected to the CMOS substrate and has a micro-electromechanical (MEMs) device. The CMOS substrate and the MEMs structure form a hermetically sealed chamber abutting the MEMs device. A heating element is electrically coupled to the one or more semiconductor devices and is separated from the hermetically sealed chamber by an out-gassing layer arranged along an interior surface of the hermetically sealed chamber. By operating the heating element to cause the out-gassing layer to release a gas, the pressure of the hermetically sealed chamber can be adjusted after it is formed.
