MEMS MULTI-MODE 1XN OPTICAL ARRAY SWITCH
DiCon’s MEMS Multi-mode 1xN Optical Array Switch provides channel
selection between sets of single input fibers and sets of N output fibers.
The module allows up to five MEMS switch components to be co-pack-
aged with the option of switching synchronously. 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 redirected back to any desired output in a 2D space. The
array switch is bi-directional and can be used as a Nx1 selector switch.
