  • Abstract
    In this paper, a novel electrostatic two-step micromirror which can serve as a pinhole and be driven at low voltages is presented. We have designed, fabricated and tested the two-step micromirror. It has a novel structure with an intermediate moving plate. The fabricated device has successfully demonstrated the reduction of the driving voltage. The proposed micromirror can be used in low voltage optical applications such as in-vivo endoscopic biopsy
