MEMS On-Off Optical Switch

DiCon’s MEMS On-Off Optical Switch is based on a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of an electrically movable mirror on a silicon support. A voltage applied to the chip causes the mirror to rotate, which changes the coupling of light between the input and output fibers of the MEMS On-Off Optical Switch.
