  • Movable lens beam steerer
    Patent number: 7389021
    Abstract: Embodiments of a system are described herein, and include a controller, and an optoelectronic module coupled to the controller. The optoelectronic module has a substrate, and a stage having a lens. An electromechanical subsystem is coupled to the substrate and to the stage, to hold the stage in a suspended manner over the substrate, and is adapted to move and lock in place the stage to position the lens to steer a light beam, responsive to control signals. A network interface module comprises the optoelectronic module.
