  • Fiber optic switch package and method of assembling a fiber optic switch package for redirecting fiber path
    Patent number: 6549693
    Abstract: A fiber optic switch package and method of assembling the same with improved protection of the fibers and simple assembly. The package redirects or bends optical fibers of a 2×2 or 1×2 MEMS optical switch in the package so that instead of exiting the package from four ends, the fibers exit the package from two ends. By exiting the package from two ends, real estate on a printed circuit board is conserved and packages can be located closer to other packages on a printed circuit board.

  • MEMS optical switch including tapered fiber with hemispheric lens
    Publication number: 20020136490
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a tapered fiber having a hemispheric end i.e. TH fiber, is provided. The TH fiber has high coupling efficiency and low coupling loss, while providing good reproducibility and ease of fabrication. The TH fiber is adapted for MEMS-based switch applications. Also, a method of measuring a beam profile of a fiber is provided. The beam profile measuring technique allows for easy control and manipulation of the fabrication process of the TH fiber.
