    摘要: An optical crossconnect (100) constructed of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) tilt mirror arrays (118,122) selectively routes optical signals (108) to optic fibers (128). The crossconnect includes a lens array (114) for directing optical signals from a fiber array (112) to the MEMS mirror array (118). Individual mirror elements in the mirror array reflect the optic signals to additional optic elements such as a planar mirror, a transmissive/reflective optical element or a second MEMS mirror array (122) for routing the optical signals to output optic fibers (128).

    摘要: An optical switch for use in optical applications utilizes a MEMS reflective shutter (28) and at least one reflecting device (27) to provide optical switching between an input (22) and two or more outputs (24,26) while reducing the amount of physical space required to position the respective input and outputs, and thereby minimize the size of the optical switch.
