Abstract:
1. A micromechanical component, comprising: a mirror element having a reflective surface on a first outer side of the mirror element, wherein a first potential is applied to a first electrode surface on a second outer side of the mirror element facing opposite from the first outer side; a counterelectrode situated adjacent to the second outer side of the mirror element, wherein a second potential is applied to a second electrode surface of the counterelectrode; and a voltage control unit coupled to the first electrode surface of the mirror element via a first contact element, and to the second electrode surface of the counterelectrode via a second contact element, wherein the voltage control unit is configured to apply a temporally varying voltage signal between the first electrode surface and the second electrode surface such that no temporally constant phase difference is present between spherical waves emanating from individual points of the surface of the mirror element.
