Abstract: Optical cross-connect systems (100) involve the general concept of a two dimensional array of micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) tilt mirrors (104) being used to direct light coming from a first optical fiber (110) to a second optical fiber (111). Each MEMS tilt mirror in the two dimensional array can tilt about two non-colinear axes (x,y) and is suspended by a plurality of suspension arms (450) attached to a glass substrate

Abstract: Optical cross-connect systems (100) involve the general concept of a two dimensional array (104) of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) tilt mirrors (106) being used to direct light coming from a first optical fiber (110) to a second optical fiber (111). Each MEMS tilt mirror (106) in the two dimensional array (104) can be tilted about two non-colinear axes and is suspended by a plurality of suspension arms (450) attached to a silicon on insulator substrate. Each of the plurality of suspension arms (450) comprises a layer with a built-in stress gradient deposited thereon which serves to automatically raise the MEMS tilt mirrors (106) during a release etch in the fabrication phase.

Abstract: Provided is a ribbon structure which may be used as part of a micro-assembly including a micro-device formed on or in a device layer of a single crystal silicon substrate. The ribbon structure is also formed in the device layer, where the ribbon structure is thinned to a thickness less than the thickness of the micro-device. The ribbon structure has an electrical conductive material deposited on its surface. When implemented as part of the micro-assembly, a first end of the micro-device and a first end of a ribbon structure are interconnected, wherein the ribbon structure and out-of-plane device are formed as a single piece.

Abstract: An optical cross switch including an improved system to align optical components is described. The system utilizes a highly transmissive sensor (170) positioned in the optical path of an optical signal to determine the precise position of the optical signal. A feedback loop uses output from the highly transmissive sensor (170) to readjust elements (128,136) that maintain the optical signal in a desired position. The current system is particularly suitable for use in an optical cross switch.
