Patent
CA 2338934
The present invention provides an optical switch or a large scale fiber- optical cross- connect switch wherein the light from the grouped input fibers is collected by a lens, a lens system, or mirror system, and imaged with a certain magnification to a plane. The plane is either a mirror when the system is operated in reflection, or a plane of symmetry when the system is operated in transmission. Before reaching that plane, the spatially separated beams are intercepted by a (1 or)2-D micro-mirror input MEMS array, where each mirror can deviate its dedicated input beam to any mirror on the output MEMS array. Each mirror on the output MEMS array compensates for angular tilt and deviates the beam to its dedicated output fiber.
