MEMS Scanning Mirrors - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

MEMS Scanning Mirrors are tiny mirrors made based on micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. They can achieve fast and precise angle control at a tiny scale and are used for scanning and steering light beams. It combines micromachining technology with optical technology and shows unique advantages in many fields.

From the perspective of structural composition, MEMS scanning mirrors are mainly composed of reflective mirrors, support structures and drive mechanisms. The reflective mirror surface usually uses a high-reflectivity metal film, such as aluminum or gold, plated on a silicon base or other suitable substrate material to ensure efficient reflection of the light beam. The support structure provides stable support for the mirror surface and allows the mirror surface to rotate within a certain range. Its design must take into account both mechanical strength and flexibility to ensure that the mirror surface can move flexibly under drive. The drive mechanism is the core part of the MEMS scanning mirror. Common drive methods include electrostatic drive, electromagnetic drive and piezoelectric drive. Electrostatic drive generates electrostatic force by applying voltage between electrodes to rotate the mirror, which has the advantages of simple structure and low power consumption; electromagnetic drive uses electromagnetic force to drive the mirror, which can provide a large driving force and scanning angle; piezoelectric drive is based on the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials. By applying voltage, the piezoelectric material is deformed, which drives the mirror to rotate, and has the characteristics of fast response speed.

Its working principle is based on the law of reflection of light and the drive control of micro-electromechanical systems. When the light beam is irradiated on the reflective mirror surface of the MEMS scanning mirror, according to the law of reflection of light, the direction of the reflected light is determined by the angle of the mirror. By controlling the driving mechanism and changing the angle of the mirror, the scanning and steering of the reflected light beam can be achieved. For example, in laser scanning applications, by quickly changing the angle of the MEMS scanning mirror, the laser beam can be quickly scanned on the target plane to form various patterns or realize rapid detection of the target.

MEMS scanning mirrors have a series of significant performance characteristics. The first is miniaturization and lightweight. Because it is manufactured using MEMS technology, its size is usually at the millimeter or even micrometer level, and its weight is extremely light, which is easy to integrate into various miniaturized devices. Secondly, it has high-speed scanning capability, which can achieve fast angle switching in a short time, and the scanning frequency can reach kHz or even MHz level, meeting the demand for high-speed dynamic scanning. Furthermore, it has high-precision angle control capability, which can accurately control the rotation angle of the mirror, realize accurate scanning and positioning of the light beam, and the angle resolution can reach the micro-radian level. In addition, MEMS scanning mirrors also have the advantages of low power consumption, high reliability and easy mass production.

In the application field, MEMS scanning mirrors are widely used in the field of optical imaging, such as in laser radar (LiDAR) systems, which obtain three-dimensional information of the surrounding environment by quickly scanning the laser beam, and provide key perception data for self-driving cars. In biomedical imaging, it can be used in confocal microscopes, photoacoustic imaging and other equipment to achieve fast and high-resolution imaging of biological samples. In the display field, MEMS scanning mirrors can be used to manufacture micro-projectors, which form images on the screen by scanning the light beam to achieve miniaturized and high-brightness projection display. In the field of optical communication, it can be used in optical switches, optical routing and other equipment to achieve fast switching and routing selection of optical signals, and improve the performance and flexibility of optical communication systems.

Looking ahead, with the continuous development and innovation of MEMS technology, MEMS scanning mirrors will move towards higher performance, more functions and wider applications. R&D personnel will focus on developing new driving technologies and materials to further improve the scanning speed, angle range and accuracy of the scanning mirror, while reducing power consumption and cost. For example, explore new nanomaterials and structural designs to improve the reflectivity and mechanical properties of the mirror; develop multi-axis driven MEMS scanning mirrors to achieve more complex beam scanning modes. In addition, with the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, MEMS scanning mirrors will play a more important role in the fields of intelligent perception, intelligent display, etc., and the market prospects are very broad.
