ABSTRAKT

An innovative microheater array design is realized on a lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal, to induce a uniform pyroelectric field on a larger area of 12.5×12.5 mm2. The pyroelectric effect is activated by the crystal as a result of the temperature gradient produce by the microheater. Thermal analyses of the device were performed both numerically and experimentally using COMSOLTM multiphysics and FLIR thermocamera. The optimized microheater geometry was obtained by a series of preliminary simulations performed using the COMSOL. The optimized microheater was then realized on the +Z surface of LiNbO3 crystal using fabrication techniques involving: photolithography, titanium thin film deposition and lift off. A series of electro-thermal characterizations were performed on the realized device. The results obtained during the experimental measurements shows a good agreement with the numerical model in terms of heat distribution and thermal profiles.
