  • Ceramic substrate for photonic switching system
    Patent number: 6532319
    Abstract: An optical cross-connect switch and manufacturing method therefor is provided which includes a planar lightwave circuit having a number of optical waveguides and trenches. The planar lightwave circuit has a first waveguide and a second waveguide that intersect the trench such that optical coupling between the first and second waveguides is dependent upon a presence of a fluid at an intersection of the trench with the first and second waveguides. A mounting base, having a channel and through openings provided therein, has fill tubes disposed in the groove and through openings of the mounting base. A reservoir pedestal having through openings provided therein and bonded to the reservoir pedestal with the fill tubes extending through the through openings therein to form a reservoir substrate.
    Type: Grant
