MEMS REFLECTION ON/OFF OPTICAL SWITCH

DiCon’s MEMS Reflection On/Off Switch provides an optical


shutter that can return light through the input fiber. At the core of the
switch is DiCon’s proprietary MEMS chip; an electrostatically driven
mirror implemented using single-crystalline silicon and a stiction-
free design. The mirror is capable of rotating along an axis, allowing
the input light to be selectively redirected back to the input fiber.

FEATURES
Proven MEMS Durability and Reliability
Compact Form Factor
Fast Switching Time
Direct Voltage Control
Qualified to GR-1221

APPLICATIONS
