Second Order Sliding Mode Observer-Based Control for Uncertain Nonlinear MEMS Optical Switch
This paper studies theuncertain nonlinear dynamics of a MEMS optical switch addressing electrical, mechanical and optical subsystems. Recently, MEMS optical switch has had significant merits in reliability, control voltage requirements and power consumption. However, an inherent weakness in designing control for such systems is unavailability of switch position information at all times due to t...
متن کاملDesign and scalability analysis of optical phased-array 1 × N switch on planar lightwave circuit
We derive explicit design rules of optical phased-array planar 1 × N switch to achieve small insertion loss, large extinction ratio, and non-dispersive waveguide structure required for wavelengthindependent broadband operation. The minimum number of phase shifters and slab lengths were studied as a function of N and the optimized array shape was derived to minimize the optical path length. We s...
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...
متن کاملPlanar Optical Space Switch Architectures
Optical space switches are important subsystems in optical crossconnects (OXCs) and reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (R-OADMs), while also having applications in more long-term communications scenarios, such as optical packet switching. This chapter develops the theory of operation of planar optical space switches, and illustrates the interrelationship that exists between device cha...
متن کاملFabrication, polarisation and wavelength insensitive optical switch/attenuator based on adiabatic mode multiplexer
Experimental results of an adiabatic mode multiplexer (AMM) based novel 2 2 optical switch/variable optical attenuator that consists of a symmetric Y-branch interferometer (mode converter) and adiabatic mode multiplexer/demultiplexer pair are presented. It is shown that both normally cross and bar designs have identical optical performance. Extinction ratio without thermal activation is wavelen...
