MEMS WDM ON/OFF OPTICAL SWITCH
DiCon’s MEMS WDM On/Off Switch provides single channel
MUX and DEMUX functionality in a compact package. The switch
combines DiCon’s proprietary thin film coating and MEMS
technologies. The thin film filter is used to DEMUX a single channel
from the input signal, while the MEMS mirror changes the coupling
of the DEMUX signal with the output fiber.
