E. Ollier et P. Mottier, INTEGRATED ELECTROSTATIC MICRO-SWITCH FOR OPTICAL-FIBER NETWORKS DRIVEN BY LOW-VOLTAGE, Electronics Letters, 32(21), 1996, pp. 2007-2009
An improved microswitch for optical networks is presented. Fully integ
rated on silicon substrate by means of integrated optics technology, i
t is well suited for mass production. It is characterised by low inser
tion losses, very low polarisation and wavelength dependence and low d
riving power.
