Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To embody a microoptelectronic mechanical system(MOEMS) device capable of providing a silicon optical bench(SiOB) device with a switching function to avert many of the performance threhoslds of an interferometer switch. SOLUTION: The MOEMS device has a microoptelectronic mechanical system(MEMS) device 502, the optical bench(OB) device including a substrate 500 and at least one optical device. The OB device substrate is, for example, silicon or glass. The MEMS device 502 is capable of providing the OB device with the mechanical, electromechanical or electrical function, such as switching. The MEMS device 502 has an actuator mechanically coupled to an optical interrupter 514. This optical interrupter 514 prohibits the propagation of at least part of an incident optical signal 522.

Abstract: In an all optical switch an imaging system is optically coupled to the moveable micro mirrors of a MEMS device so as to produce an image of the MEMS device at the end of the imaging system which is not coupled to the MEMS device. The image is substantially in a plane with either input or output of the optical switch. The imaging system may be a telecentric system. The size of the arrangement may be reduced by compacting the optical path, e.g., using appropriate conventional mirrors, and/or employing folded arrangements, i.e., arrangements in which there is only one MEMS device stage that does double duty for both input and output through the use of at least one conventional mirror. The overall system is arranged to account for any inversions introduced.
