Fiber optic switches and variable optical attenuators (VOA) are crucial fundamental functional blocks of optical fiber networks for the telecommunication and data communication industries. Analog and latching types of electro-thermal actuated optical MEMS provide the cores for unique optical switch and variable attenuator products for light path control in communication networks. Many service providers are using the 100G technology roll out as an opportunity to upgrade their optical network infrastructure, leading to a large demand for advanced optical switches and VOAs. The performance and cost structure of electro-thermal actuated active MEMS mirror/shutter devices make them exceptionally well suited for application in telecom and datacom optical light path switching and attenuation.
