Abstract
This paper will give further results obtained from introducing electrothermal and electrostatic MEMS within laser cavities with particular attention given to the thermal effects of the micromirror, and new modulation/control prospects. The exploitation of the MEMS devices in solid-state lasers operating at 1.5mum will also be described.
