Optical switch using aligned collimator arrays that are specifically angled to facing MEMS chips
Abstract:
An optical switch, including an input collimator array, an input micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) chip, an output MEMS chip, and an output collimator array. An included angle (β) exists between a surface of a micromirror array on the output MEMS chip and a surface of a lens array of the output collimator array, micromirrors of the micromirror array on the output MEMS chip are arranged at an equal spacing (L) both in a direction parallel to a first direction and in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, where the first direction is a direction of an intersection line of planes to which the surface of the lens array of the output collimator array and the surface of the micromirror array on the output MEMS chip belong, and lenses of the lens array of the output collimator array are arranged with the same arrangement of micromirrors of the output MEMS chip.
