MEMS Matrix Optical Switch
The SIMTRUM MEMS Matrix Optical Switch series is based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology, enabling optical interconnection from any input port to any output port through precise electrostatic deflection of micro-mirror arrays. This technology elevates the flexibility, speed, and reliability of optical switching to a new level, serving as the core component for building high-port-count, high-density Optical Cross-Connects (OXC) and Reconfigurable Optical Add-Drop Multiplexers (ROADM). Our MEMS switches feature extremely low insertion loss, compact size, low power consumption, and Hit-less Switching capability, allowing network reconfiguration without service interruption, making them an ideal solution for next-generation elastic optical networks.

OE-MEMS-1xN

Features

  • High Port Density & Full Matrix Switching: Supports any-to-any port connectivity from 4x4 to large-scale configurations like 8x16 and beyond.
  • Outstanding Optical Performance: Low insertion loss (0.6-1.6 dB typ.), high isolation (≥50 dB), low PDL and WDL.
  • Fast and Hit-less Switching: Millisecond-scale switching time with support for hit-less switching, ensuring network quality of service.
  • High Reliability & Compact Package: MEMS chip-level technology ensures long-term stability; modular packaging significantly saves equipment space.
  • Flexible Control: Integrated electronic drive unit allows easy control of the entire switching matrix via digital signals.

 

Applications

  • Dynamic Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) nodes in intelligent optical networks
  • Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) and CDC-ROADM subsystems
  • Optical interconnect architectures in large-scale data centers
  • Multi-channel optical fiber testing systems and laboratory automation platforms
