Abstract
Accurate control of the deflection angle needed when connecting single mode fibres can be performed in electrically addressed nematic Liquid crystal d eflectors. We present a reconfigurable 1 x 5 switch with 30% global efficie ncy and predict the characteristics of a 16 x 16 system. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
