Abstract-MEMS based optical switches are being developed for application in communication networks. Although, very useful, most of them have relatively simple functionality. Many of these systems are now at a commercialization stage. Silicon based optical switches with electrostatic actuating are proving to be very attractive due to their application in fiber optics telecommunication. In this paper, a study of 2X2 optical switch is presented. The analytical & FEM results are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
