Optical Cross Connect Technology § How it works: an optical beam is collimated and steered from an input array ("send" side) to an output array ("receive" side). Voltage signals to the piezoelectric elements control the pointing § Advantages of Beam-steering technology – Very clean optical path: with a very simple optical train, consisting of fiber and two collimators, Direct. Light is capable of very low loss (typ=0. 4 d. B) and extremely high optical performance – High force, high stiffness drive train: with 100 x the stiffness of typical 3 D MEMS devices, the system is far less susceptible to shock, vibration, or other environmental disturbances – High resolution positioning & control: provides the ability to sense and tune very accurately and allowing maximum power throughput
