Making mass connections in an optical circuit switch
Abstract:
An optical circuit switch, method, and apparatus are disclosed. The optical circuit switch may include a plurality of mirror elements, each mirror element uniquely associated with a port from a plurality of ports, each mirror element coupled to a dedicated electrode and configured to rotate in response to a voltage applied to the dedicated electrode. A command interpreter may receive a command defining a plurality of port-pairs to be connected via the optical circuit switch and determine a respective target voltage value to be applied to the dedicated electrode coupled to each of the mirror elements associated with each of the port-pairs. A transition manager may cause voltages applied to the dedicated electrodes coupled to the mirror elements associated with the port-pairs to concurrently transition from respective previous voltage values to the respective target voltage values.
