The authors investigate a 1 × N free-space microoptical fiber switch for a large number of interconnects. The system to be studied is a reflective 4 f optical system. Alignment tolerances and coupling efficiency are investigated and the benefit brought by ...
A bulk GaN half-wave (lambda /2) cavity is grown on Si(Ill) substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. It is embedded between twelve AlN/(Al,Ga)N quaterwave stacks and the silicon substrate, which acts as a metallic bottom mirror in the investigated wavelength r ...
After microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices have been well established, components of higher complexity are now developed. Particularly, the combination with optical components has been very successful and have led to optical MEMS. The technology o ...
A monolithic silicon integrated optical micro-scanner is presented. The device consists of a mirror located on the tip of a thermal bimorph actuator beam. The fabrication process is very simple and compatible with IC fabrication techniques. The device is e ...
This paper describes Si-micromachined two-axis beam- steering micromirrors and their performance in 256 x 256- and 1024 x 1024-port large optical cross-connects (OXCs). The high-reflectivity wavelength-independent mirrors are electrostatically actuated; ca ...
In this letter, we demonstrate the limitations for 1 × N free space optical switch with a moving macro-lens. We use a deformable mirror to overcome these limitations. The adaptive mirror corrects for the aberrations. Power coupling efficiencies between 6 a ...
We study the interaction of a mode propagating in a planar waveguide with a three dimensional rectangular defect (protrusion or notch) in the structure. The scattering by the defect disturbes the propagation of the mode and light is coupled out of the wave ...
A spectral collocation multi-domain scheme is developed for the accurate and efficient time-domain solution of Maxwell's equations within multi-layered diffractive optical elements. Special attention is being paid to the modeling of out-of-plane waveguide ...
