Optical switching element having movable optically transmissive microstructure

摘要: An optical switching element has a movable optically transmissive microstructure to change the paths of signals. The is 'optically transmissive' because it includes structures such as waveguides and waveguide networks which transmit apparatus uses MEMS micro-machining technology build an switch having moves from one position another in direction (e.g., laterally, vertically, rotationally) that incoming signals align over small air gap with different waveguides, or inputs depending on microstructure. As result, travel straight pass through cross over)
