Multi-Response Optimization of Electrothermal Micromirror Using Desirability Function-Based Response Surface Methodology

ABSTRACT: The design of a micromirror for biomedical applications requires multiple output responses to be optimized, given a set of performance parameters and constraints. This paper presents the parametric design optimization of an electrothermally actuated micromirror for the deflection angle, input power, and micromirror temperature rise from the ambient for Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system. Initially, a screening design matrix based on the Design of Experiments (DOE) technique is developed and the corresponding output responses are obtained using coupled structural-thermal-electric Finite Element Modeling (FEM). The interaction between the significant design factors is analyzed by developing Response Surface Models (RSM) for the output responses. The output responses are optimized by c
