DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL 2 DOF THERMAL MICRO ACTUATORS AND A COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES

This thesis examines the development and testing of a novel 2 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) thermal actuator using Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. A out-of-plane displacement measurement technique based on optical focus adjustments is also implemented and tested. In-plane displacement...
