摘要: Optical circuit switches have gained increased prominence in data centers recent years given their ability to rapidly forward optical signals without first converting those back into the electrical domain. Certain are implemented using one or more arrays of single-axis dual-axis gimballed micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) mirrors, whose orientations can be adjusted direct light from an input port switch a desired output switch. Systems and methods according present disclosure relate microelectromechanical mirror assembly with crack protection features such as plurality nibbles.
