MEMS MULTI-MODE 1X64 OPTICAL SWITCH
DiCon’s Multi-Mode MEMS 1xN Optical Switch provides channel
selection between a single input fiber and N output fibers. The 1xN
module allows multiple MEMS multi-mode switch components to
be configured to provide a compact switch with up to 64 chan-
nels. At the core of each switch component is DiCon’s proprietary
MEMS chip; an electrostatically driven mirror implemented using
single-crystalline silicon and a stiction-free design. The mirror is
capable of rotating on two axes, allowing the input light to be re-
directed back to any desired output in a 2D plane. The switch is
bi-directional and can be used as a Nx1 selector swtich.
