MEMS MXN Matrix Optical Switch
The matrix optical switch is a high-performance, modular, all-optical signal matrix switch using MEMS and switching control technology. Light is the transmission medium, providing strong interference resistance and low signal attenuation. An M×N matrix comprises cascaded M units of 1×N MEMS optical switches and N units of 1×M MEMS optical switches, enabling arbitrary switching from M optical inputs to N outputs. It provides nonblocking, fully transparent optical switching, making it an ideal solution for telecommunications, data centers, network security, and laboratory or production network operators, with flexible, reliable remote resource allocation and rapid path reconfiguration.
