Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based cross-connects are widely used for all-
optical switching in recent optical networks. This paper provides a brief overview of various …

The intensive investment in optical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in the last
decade has led to many successful components that satisfy the requirements of lightwave …

The book gives an in-depth description of key devices of current and next generation fibre
optic communication networks. Devices treated include semiconductor lasers, optical …

The movement or migration of charges in dielectric materials like silicon oxide, silicon nitride
and glass, is recognized as one of the most significant causes of drift instability of MEMS …

In the current times, microelectromechanical systems and nanoelectromechanical systems
form a major interdisciplinary area of research involving science, engineering, and …

We report on the design, fabrication, and characterization of a high fill-factor, large scan-
angle, two-axis scanner array. The two-axis microelectromechanical-systems (MEMS) mirror …

In this paper, we report on a MEMS-based two-axis optical scanner array with a high fill
factor (> 96%), large mechanical scan angles (/spl plusmn/4.4/spl deg/and/spl …

We present a high-port-count (scalable to 1 times 32) wavelength-selective switch (WSS)
using a large scan-angle, high fill-factor, two-axis analog micromirror array in conjunction …

A new high-port-count wavelength-selective switch (WSS) has been realized using two
cross-scanning one-axis analog micromirror arrays in a 4-f optical system. The number of …

We propose a potential quantum-computer hardware-architecture model on a silicon chip in
which the basic cell gate is the atom-photon controlled-phase-flip gate. This gate can be …
