MEMS REFLECTION ON/OFF OPTICAL SWITCH DiCon's MEMS Reflection On/Off Switch provides an optical shutter that can return light through the input fiber. At the core of the switch is DiCon's proprietary MEMS chip; an electrostatically driven mirror implemented using single-crystalline silicon and a stictionfree design. The mirror is capable of rotating along an axis, allowing the input light to be selectively redirected back to the input fiber.
