Abstract: A variable optical delay line using MEMS devices. A reflector on a micro machine linear rack is positioned and spaced from an input source and/ or an output to receive and reflect input light waves toward the output. The ditstance between the reflector and the input and output is variable and thereby ennables selective path delay compensation of the input light wave signals. Other disclosed embodiments utilize pivoting MEMS mirrors and selective adjustment of the mirror pivot angles to provide the selective path delay compensation required in a light wave system.

Abstract: A device having electrical contacts formed from an alloy having improve d wear resistance is provided, the alloy being particularly useful in microrel ay devices formed by MEMS technology. In one embodiment, the alloys are chosen to allow sufficient precipitation hardening to improve wear resistance, but keep precipitation below a level that would unacceptably reduce electrical conductivity. This i s achieved by using alloying materials that have very limited or no solid solubility in the noble metal matrix, e.g., less than 4 wt.% solid solubility. In a second embodiment, an alloy contains a noble metal matrix and insoluble, dispersoid particles having no solubility in the matrix, these dispersoid particles offering a similar strengthening mechanism.

Abstract: An article comprising a micro-machined, passively self-assembling inductor (102) is disclosed. The inductor is fabricated using MEMS technology and advantageously utilizes materials compatible with CMOS such that the inductor is monolithically integrable with a CMOS chip. The inductor includes passive self-assembly means (110, 114) by which the inductor loop (104) is moved away from an underlying substrate (100), typically silicon, in the final steps of inductor assembly. Such passive self-assembly does not require separate actuation or monitoring steps.

Abstract: An optical crossconnect (OXC) fabric including an array of tiltable mirrors, a reflector and a plurality of optical fibers controls the position of the mirrors to optimize the transfer of a signal between an input optical fiber and an output optical fiber by monitoring the optical signal at an optical translation unit in each of the input optical fiber and the output optical fiber. The optical translation units are operable for regenerating the optical signals transmitted through the fibers.

Abstract: An optical crossconnect constructed of micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) tilt mirror arrays for selectively routing optical signals to optic fibers. The crossconnect includes a lens array for directing optical signals from a fiber array to the MEMS mirror array. Individual mirror elements in the mirror arr ay r effect the optic signals to additional optic elements such as a planar mirror, a transmissive/reflective optical element or a second MEMS mirror array for routing the optical signals to output optic fibers.

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.
