MEMS MxN light switch
The MEMS MXN optical switch, a micro-computer power system (MEMS) technology-based component, allows for flexible light-switching between multiple light-input and output ports. The “M” and “N” in it represent the number of input and output ports. The core of MEMS light-switches is a small mechanical structure, usually a microscope or beam.
