Abstract: An optically controlled switch includes first and second electrodes, a chann el extending between the electrodes, and a light source positioned to illuminat e the channel. The light source produces a wavelength capable of changing the material's conductivity. The channel includes a photosensitive organic material and is configured to operate as a light controlled switch.

Abstract: A micromachined xyz stage, and microscopes utilizing such a stage, are disclosed. The xyz stage includes co-planar x- and y-drive means linked to a sample stage. Such x- and y- drive means are operable to position the sample stage in an x-y plane. The xyz stage further includes z-drive means operable to moves the sample stage out of the x-y plane. The z-drive means can be implemented by suspending a flat-plate electrode over the sample stage using hinged plate supports. As a voltage is applied across the plate electrode and the sample stage, an electrostatic force is generated, causing the sample stage to move towards the plate electrode. The hinged plate supports facilitate assembly of the z-drive means, in addition to providing support for it in its assembled configuration. By incorporating an optical fiber, the aperture of which has be drawn down to submicron size, a near-field scanning optical microscope can be formed. By forming a micromachined tip on the xyz stage, a scanning tunneling microscope or an atomic force microscope can be formed.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical optical device is disclosed. The micro-electro-mechanical optical device includes a micro-electro-mechanical structure coupled with an optical device. Both the micro-electro-mechanical structure and the optical device are disposed on a substrate surface. The micro-electro-mechanical structure lifts the optical device a predetermined distance above the plane of the substrate surface. Thereafter, the lifted optical device is moveable relative to the plane of the substrate surface in response to an electrostatic field generated between the optical device and the substrate.

Abstract: Optical switches utilizing electrostatically-driven actuators formed from micro machined plates are disclosed. Under an applied voltage, a movable plate moves toward a fixed plate or a conductive region of an underlying support. The switches further include a mechanical linkage from the actuator to an optical device. The displacement of the movable plate generated at the actuator is transferred, via the mechanical linkage, to the optical device. The optical device, which is positioned in close proximity to optically-aligned spaced optical fibers, is movable into and out of an optical path defined by the optical cores of the optical fibers by the action of the actuator. An "in-plane" optical switch includes an actuator having two vertically-oriented electrodes, which generates a substantially horizontally-directed displacement of the movable plate and the linked optical device. An "out-of-plane" optical switch includes an actuator having at least one horizontally-disposed suspended above a conductive region of an underlying support. The actuator generates a substantially vertically-directed displacement of the movable plate and the linked optical device.

Abstract: A device and method for detecting rotational drift of mirror elements in a MEMS tilt mirror array used in an optical crossconnect. The optical crossconnect directs optical signals from an input fiber to an output fiber along an optical path by rotatably positioning mirror elements in desired positions. A monitoring device disposed outside of the optical path is used to obtain images of the MEMS array or to transmit and receive a test signal through the crossconnect for detecting the presence of mirror element drift.

Abstract: An opto-isolator incorporating a MEMS device includes an optical signal source and an optical signal detector defining therebeween an optical path for communication of optical signals. A MEMS device having an actuator for controlling a moveable element is disposed between the source and detector for manipulating the optical signals. In one embodiment, the moveable element is a shutter which is operable to selectively allow optical signals to be received by the detector and prevent signals from being detected. In another embodiment, the moveable member is a MEMS tilt mirror for selectively directing optical signals to the detecto r.

Abstract: A method for pivoting an optical device about one or more axes thereof is disclosed. Springs couple the optical device to the micro-electro-mechanical structure. A portion of the springs are fastened on the micro-electro-mechanical structure. Fastening the portion of each spring on the electro-mechanical structure prevents the springs from moving the optical device in a translational direction when such optical device pivots about the one or more axes.
