Method and system for ultra-fast switching of optical signals |
摘要 |
The system can include one or more optical switching devices. Each optical switching device can achieve relatively high switching speeds such as between thirty (30) nano-seconds to fifty (50) nano-seconds with precise angular movement. The switching speed can be defined as the movement of an optical element from a first switching position to a second switching position. The relatively high switching speeds and precise angular movement of the optical element can be attributed to utilizing a combination of electrodes and membrane supports made from predefined materials that react to the electrodes. The optical switching device can be a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device that can be fabricated by the adding or etching layers of materials such as in photolithography manufacturing techniques. The optical element can include a mirror made from reflective materials such as a layer of gold. The membrane supports can include planar strips fabricated from silicon based materials such as silicon nitride (Si3N4). |
