چکیده
A 1xN2 wavelength-selective switch is demonstrated using a high fill-factor two-axis analog micromirror array and a monolithic 2D collimator array. A 1x2 (scalable to 1x14) WSS with SO-GHz channel spacing is experimentally demonstrated. 02004 Optical Society of America OCIS rodeo: (06C.1810) Couplers, switches, and multiplexers (OM.4510) Optical communications

MEMS WDM Routers Using Analog Micromirror Arrays
There have been increasing interests in programmable optical add-drop multiplexers (OADM) and wavelength-selective switches in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) networks. Conventional OADM has one input and one output channels, in addition to an add and a drop channels [l]. It is also called 1x1 OADM. Dynamic OADM with more than one output ports offers greater flexibility and functionality ...
متن کاملLow Voltage Mems Analog Micromirror Arrays with Hidden Vertical Comb-drive Actuators
We report on a novel, polysilicon surface-micromachined one-dimensional (1-D) analog micromirror array. Large continuous DC scan angle (23.6° optical) and low operating voltage (6V) have been achieved using vertical comb-drive actuators. The actuators and torsion springs are placed underneath the mirror (137 × 120 μm) to achieve high fill-factor (91%). The measured resonant frequency of the mir...

A 2D (6x6) fiber collimator array with a telescope beam expander is incorporated into a 1xN2 wavelengthselective switch ( W S S ) to achieve high port count. The 1xN2 WSS is realized using two cross-scanning 1-axis analog micromirror arrays in a 4-foptical system. We have achieved a 1x9 WSS with a channel spacing of 160 GHz, a fiber-to-fiber insertion loss of 14 dB and a switching time of < 1 m...
