1. A process for fabricating a light modulating device comprising the steps of:

  • forming a metal layer on a substrate;

    forming a bridge support structure over the metal layer, the bridge support structure including an opening therein and a portion spaced above the substrate;

    subsequently forming a lower mirror over the substrate through the opening in the bridge support structure;

    positioning an upper mirror over the lower mirror and supported by the portion of the bridge support structure spaced above the substrate such that a gap is provided between a lower surface of the upper mirror and the lower mirror, the upper mirror being optically transmissive to incident radiation over a given spectral range.
