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.
