Abstract

MEMS optical switch technology is one of the key technologies in Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) optical networks. Although the 2-D MEMS optical switch technology is mature, the commonly used crossbar architecture is not amenable to building large switches. In this paper, we propose a design of 2 × 2 switching modules, and use it to build large 2-D MEMS optical switches with architectures such as Spanke-Beneš and Beneš networks.
