A 8/spl times/8 all optical space-switch based on a novel 8/spl times/1 MOEMS switching module
17 March 2001
We report a 8/spl times/8 switch based on a novel MOEMS technology allowing wide bandwidth (1300-1650 nm), fast switching (50 dB) and high modularity. This switch allow the realization of high capacity optical cross-connects (e.g.1024/spl times/lO24).
