Abstract

A micromirror control system includes a bottom layer configured to support the micromirror control system including a stopper plate coupled to the bottom layer at a first end, configured to rotate about an axis. The micromirror control system also includes a micromirror, communicatively coupled to the stopper plate on a bottom side, and including a reflective top side configured to reflect light. Rotation of the stopper plate about the axis into contact with the micromirror is configured to adjust an orientation of the micromirror. In one aspect, the micromirror control system also includes an actuating device, communicatively coupled to the stopper plate, configured to control the rotation of the stopper plate about the axis. The advantages of the present invention include the ability to finely control translation and rotation of a discretely controlled micromirror.
