摘要： The invention provides a fast variable optical attenuator including a reflective membrane that serves as a varifocal mirror. Electrostatic deflection of the mirror defocuses the optical system and attenuates an optical signal launched to the mirror from an input port to an output port. Since the mirror is generally limited to deflections less than 1 micron, fast attenuation within a small (
摘要翻译：本发明提供一种包括用作变焦镜的反射膜的快速可变光衰减器。镜的静电偏转使光学系统散焦，并将从反射镜发射的光信号从输入端口衰减到输出端口。由于镜子通常限制在小于1微米的偏转，所以在小（<5 dB）动态范围内实现快速衰减。通过将快衰减器与较慢的衰减器组合来提高动态范围。在优选实施例中，慢速和快速衰减器不通过光波导耦合，而是通过自由空间光学耦合或集成在同一设备中。有利地，这种紧凑的布置减少了与光纤耦合相关联的额外损耗并降低了封装成本。

摘要： A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMs) mirror device for use in an optical switch is disclosed. A “piano”-style MEMs device includes an elongated platform pivotally mounted proximate the middle thereof by a torsional hinge. The middle portion of the platform and the torsional hinge have a combined width less than the width of the rest of the platform, whereby several of these “piano” MEMs devices can be positioned adjacent each other pivotally mounted about the same axis with only a relatively small air gap therebetween. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention specially designed for wavelength switching applications, a greater range of arcuate motion for a mirror mounted thereon is provided by enabling the platform to rotate about two perpendicular axes. The MEMs mirror device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention enables the mirror to tilt about two perpendicular axes, by the use of an “internal” gimbal ring construction, which ensures that a plurality of adjacent mirror devices have a high fill factor, without having to rely on complicated and costly manufacturing processes.

摘要： Apparatus for modifying the optical characteristics of an optical fiber by controlled stretching of a length of the fiber, comprising a first fiber holder fixedly carried by a base and capable of firmly holding a first portion of the optical fiber, a lever part attached to the base at a fulcrum, and second fiber holder movably connected to the lever part and capable of firmly holding a second portion of the fiber, so that an intermediate length of fiber may be held taut between said first and second holding means. An electromagnetic circuit moves the lever part between first and second predetermined positions, so that the intermediate length of fiber is stretched as the lever part moves between first and second positions. Preferably, the intermediate length of fiber includes a Bragg grating.

The MEMs mirror device according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention enables the mirror to tilt about two perpendicular axes, by the use of an “internal” gimbal ring construction, which ensures that a plurality of adjacent mirror devices have a high fill factor, without having to rely on complicated and costly manufacturing processes. To limit the amount of electrical crosstalk between adjacent mirrors, shielding can be positioned between the electrodes. The shielding can extend upwardly from the substrate and/or downwardly from the undersurface of the mirrors. When both types of shielding are provided, one set is offset from the other to prevent abutment thereof, and to enable an overlapping effect, which enhances the protection.

The middle portion of the platform and the torsional hinge have a combined width less than the width of the rest of the platform, whereby several of these “piano” MEMs devices can be positioned adjacent each other pivotally mounted about the same axis with only a relatively small air gap therebetween. In a preferred embodiment the range of angular motion of a MEMs device's platform is increased by reducing the field strength, i.e. the force per unit area, that is sensed at the outer free ends of the platform. Ideally two-step electrodes are provided with a lower step positioned beneath the outer free end of the platform.
