MEMS variable optical attenuator with a compound latch
A variable optical attenuator with a compound latch is described. The attenuator and fibre mounts are fabricated in bonded silicon-on-insulator, using microelectromechanical systems technology. The latch has two stages. Each can be continuously adjusted or fixed into position using a rack and tooth driven by electrothermal actuators. The second stage has a mechanical advantage of 10, giving a t...
متن کاملPolarization-state evolution in recirculating loops with polarization-dependent loss.
We analyze the evolution of the polarization state of a signal in a recirculating loop with polarization-dependent loss. We show that the polarization-state evolution in experiments is in qualitative agreement with our analysis, and we discuss the relationship between the polarization-state evolution and the Q factor.
متن کاملDesign and simulation of a RF MEMS shunt capacitive switch with low actuation voltage, low loss and high isolation
According to contact type, RF MEMS switches are generally classified into two categories: Capacitive switches and Metal-to-Metal ones. The capacitive switches are capable to tolerate a higher frequency range and more power than M-to-M switches. This paper presents a cantilever shunt capacitive RF MEMS switch with characteristics such as low trigger voltage, high capacitive ratio, short switchin...
متن کاملSingle-end Measurement of Polarization Mode Dispersion in Optical Fibers with Polarization-dependent Loss
A new reflectometric technique is proposed to measure the polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fiber links with polarization-dependent loss. Based on the PMD dynamical equation, some important relations can be obtained to make the backreflection measurement of PMD possible. Thus we can perform the single-end spectral resolved measurement of the differential group delay and the differen...
متن کاملSliding-blade MEMS iris and variable optical attenuator
An iris-type variable aperture fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology is described. The device contains a number of shutter blades, which are each driven by a separate microactuator, and translated synchronously to create a variable polygonal aperture. The optical performance of devices with different numbers of blades is compared using simple analytic models and diff...
