We describe the performance of a reflective pulse-shaper based on a Micro-ElectroMechanical System (MEMS) linear mirror array. It represents a substantial upgrade of a preceding release [Opt. Lett. 35, 3102 (2010)] as it allows simultaneous piston and tilt ...
This paper reports a high fill-factor (>90%), 2-dimensional analog micromirror array designed specifically for very high, optically induced thermal load applications. Each pixel can attain a mechanical DC rotation angle of ±4 degrees around any arbitrary a ...
