چکیده
A novel 2 x 2 free-space fibre-optic switch has been fabricated using surface-micromachining technology The switch IS monolithically patterned on the Si substrate. With this approach. the switch can be made compact, light weight and low ca t . In addition. i t is potentially integrable with olher micro-oplsal elements and interface electronics. The switch is attractive for fibre-optic local area network applicaiions

متن کاملRealization of FDDI optical bypass switches using surface micromachining technology
We report a novel FDDI (fiber data distribution interface) optical bypass switch using the surface-micromachining technology. In this design, all of the switches' components are made of polysilicon films and are monolithically patterned. The switch consists of four multimode optical fibers and a two-sided mirror sitting vertically on the top of a sliding plate which can be driven by an integrat...

متن کاملRealization of novel monolithic free-space optical disk pickup heads by surface micromachining.
A novel monolithic free-space optical disk pickup head has been fabricated by micromachined micro-optical bench technology. The pickup head contains a self-aligned semiconductor edge-emitting laser, a collimating lens, a beam splitter, two focusing lenses, and two 45 degrees mirrors. All optical components are built monolithically on Si substrates. The 45 degrees mirror directs the optical outp...
