MEMS技术及其在光网络中的应用

With the development of optical communication technologies, especially the DWDM system, the development of optical switching equipment gradually became restricted. The optical switching equipment that based on MEMS is considered to be the first choice in the all-optical networkl in the future. MEMS is an emerging technology, it is a solution in many fields on the problems. According to great deal of research, As follows it is briefly introduced that the MEMS technology’s main features and MEMS technology in the application of optical communications. It is emphasized on the structure and the current development trend of MEMS optical switches.
