MEMS 3X3 BLOCKING SWITCH DiCons MEMS 3x3 Blocking Switch is based on a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of an electrically moveable mirror on a silicon support. A voltage applied to the MEMS chip causes the mirror to rotate, which changes the coupling of light between three input !bers and three output !bers. FEATURES n n n Small optical switch package Based on DiCons proven MEMS platform TTL parallel or SMBus/I2C serial control interface APPLICATIONS The MEMS 3x3 Blocking Switch is often used in telecommunication networks, !ber-based sensing, and bio-medical and scienti!c research. Excellent reliability, repeatability and temperature performance makes the MEMS 3x3 Blocking switch ideal for a variety of applications.
