Optimal positioning of reflecting optical devices

摘要

Reflecting optical devices are optimally positioned by an all optical switch in an optically-connected system by transmitting optical power readings taken from an optimal monitoring module that are transmitted to the all optical switch for optimal positioning of a reflecting optical device in order to produce maximum optical output power.

1. A method for optimal positioning of reflecting optical devices by an all optical switch in an optically-connected system of a computing environment using a processor device, comprising: using optical power readings taken from an optimal monitoring module that are transmitted to the all optical switch for optimal positioning of a reflecting optical device in order to produce maximum optical output power; and transmitting the optical power readings to an optical switch controller using an optical control loop function, wherein the reflecting optical device is a microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirror and the optically-connected system is one of an optically-connected circuit network system and an electrical circuit system and the optimal monitoring module is included in each one of a plurality of optical transceivers and optical receivers; and aggregating the optical power readings of each of a plurality of optical transceivers and optical receivers prior to transmitting the optical power readings to the all optical switch, wherein each of the optical power readings taken by each of the plurality of optical transceivers and optical receivers are periodically performed.
