<p>A microelectromechanical (MEMS) device (100) has a substrate (102) and a generally planar moving element (106), such as a mirror, disposed in parallel to the surface (108) of the substrate. An actuator is operatively engageable with the moving element (106) for selectively actuating the moving element (106) between a first position in a plane horizontal to the surface of the substrate and a second position in that plane. The MEMS device (100) may be effectively used as an optical switch. Various different actuators can be used. Preferably, the device is fabricated using a surface micromachining process.</p> |
