A Novel Integrated Three-Dimensional MEMS Photonic Cross-Connect Switch for All-Optical Networks

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The paper gives insight into the optical design, modeling and simulation of a novel three-dimensional microelectromechanical system (3D MEMS) based photonic cross-connect. Photonic cross-connects (PXC) play a key role in all-optical networks. All-optical physical-switch fabric based on highly reflective micromirrors (reflective methods) allows optical signals to be manipulated with minimal signal loss without converting the signal. 3D MEMS architecture is predominant technology for optical MEMS. 3D MEMS are ideal for small and large port counts of switches. To take full advantage of 3D optical MEMS, it is necessary to provide a responsive close-loop control to position the mirrors accurately. In traditional 3D MEMS technologies position control requires optical feedback, however this is not capable of correcting for shocks, vibrations and other instabilities. The proposed new 3D MEMS technology employs integrated position-sense electronics in close-loop control system to position mirrors and maintain stability. The integrated electronics determine position by measuring capacitance changes between mirror and the sense electrodes. The paper presents the close-loop control of the advanced cross-connect switch as well the multiphysics modeling and simulation of double-gimbaled MEMS-based cross-connect switch. Based on mathematical model the micromirror behavior has been simulated and the simulation results are presented. The case study including the simulation of micromirror tilting is also given.
