We present a curved concentric electrothermal actuator design that has very mall lateral shift and tilting. The actuator is made up of folded curved Al/W bimorphs with fast thermal response and high sensitivity. Two MEMS mirror designs based on this actuator design have been fabricated. The first MEMS mirror is a tip-tilt-piston scanning mirror capable of scanning up to ± 11° at voltage less than...
