    Abstract: Systems and methods for forming a magnetostatic MEMS switch include forming a movable beam on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. A shunt bar on the movable plate may close the switch when lowered onto the contacts. The switch may generally be closed, with the shunt bar resting on the contacts. However, a magnetically permeable material may also be inlaid into the movable plate. The switch may then be opened by placing either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet in proximity to the switch.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for forming an electrostatic MEMS plate switch include forming a deformable plate on a first substrate, forming the electrical contacts on a second substrate, and coupling the two substrates using a hermetic seal. The deformable plate may have at least one shunt bar located at a nodal line of a vibrational mode of the deformable plate, so that the shunt bar remains relatively stationary when the plate is vibrating in that vibrational mode. The second substrate may have semiconductor integrated circuits formed thereon. The second substrate may also have a shielding layer formed thereon, such as to improve the impedance characteristics of the device.

    Abstract: An MEMS device, having two substantially parallel surfaces are separated by an initial distance. At least one of the surfaces includes a raised feature that limits the gap between the surfaces to less than the initial distance when an actuating voltage is applied. In some embodiments, the raised feature limits the gap to about 66% of the initial distance.

    Abstract: We describe here a scanning optical beam that is comprised of no moving parts The device includes a plurality of microfabricated beam shaping elements disposed in an array wherein each microfabricated beam shaping element is registered with a microfabricated light source but has an optical axis that is offset from the optical axis of the light source by a different amount, wherein the amount is a function of the distance from a center of the arrays. A method of operating the scanning optical beam is also described.

    Abstract: Described here is a platform for supporting a fiber optic cable. The platform may be made on a silicon wafer using silicon lithographic processing techniques. The platform may include a substrate having a top planar surface; a trench formed in the substrate in the top planar surface and dimensioned to accept a fiber optic cable carrying radiation; and a reflecting surface formed in the top planar surface, wherein this reflecting surface is configured to reflect the radiation by total internal reflection, wherein the reflecting surface is configured to direct radiation travelling in a first direction into a second direction, substantially orthogonal to the first direction.
