ARI's gimbal-less two-axis scanning mirror technology commercialized by Mirrorcle Technologies Inc. was recently used in a demonstration by National Instruments at the NI Week 2009 event in Austin, TX. See the video of fast laser tracking based on NI's FPGA hardware and Mirrorcle Technologies MEMS mirror. (Actual demonstration begins at ~3 min and 20 sec.) |

We demonstrated real-time fast-motion tracking of an object in a 3D volume, while obtaining its precise XYZ co-ordinates. Two separate scanning MEMS micromirror sub-systems track the object in a 20 kHz closed-loop. A demonstration system capable of tracking full-speed human hand motion provides position information at up to 5m distance with 16-bit precision, or <=20 µ m precision on the X and Y axes (up/down, left/right,) and precision on the depth (Z-axis) from 10 µ m to 1.5mm, depending on distance. |

High temperature operation of laser scanning micromirorrs demonstrated - standard ARIMEMS two-axis micromirrors scan at 200°C with no measurable reduction in performance. See device characterization report for a typical ARI two-axis micromirror scanner at room temperature and at 200°C. |
