    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical switch that is suitable for a CMOS circuit and that is capable of accurately positioning a mirror with a low voltage. SOLUTION: A reflection element 30 with a reflection surface is joined to a surface electrostatic actuator 34, 36. The surface electrostatic actuator contains a movable member 34 capable of moving a position with respect to the fixed member 36 of the actuator in accordance with an electrostatic force. The movable member possesses first plural electrodes on a first surface, while the fixed member possesses second plural electrodes on the second surface of the fixed member oppositely facing the first surface. The first and the second plural electrodes generate an electrostatic force for the purpose of horizontally moving the movable member in the direction roughly parallel to the first and the second surface. The movable member is mechanically attached to the reflection element so that the reflection element can be selectively operated through the movement of the movable member in the passage of a light beam.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a capacitance-type gas/liquid detector by which a change in a capacitance caused by a liquid coming into contact with a sensor can be detected surely and easily. SOLUTION: This gas/liquid detector 10 for an ionic liquid is provided with a capacitance-type sensor 11. The gas/liquid detector is provided with a capacitance detector 25 which applies an AC voltage to the sensor and which measures its capacitance. The capacitance-type sensor 11 contains a pair of electrodes 13, 15 with which the ionic liquid 12 can come into contact. When the AC voltage is applied, a Debye element 51 and a Debye element 53 are formed around the electrodes by an electric-charge diffusion double layer. When the amplitude of the AC voltage is set to be sufficiently lower than a voltage by which the Debye elements 51, 53 do not become preferentially capacitive, a gas/a liquid can be detected with comparatively high detecting sensitivity.
