MEMS OPTICAL SWITCH DEVICE
A MEMS optical switch device is disclosed that includes an optical system deflecting and outputting light signals; first and second test light generation parts generating and feeding first and second test lights to specific input and output ports, respectively, of the optical system; first and second divergence parts diverging the first and second test lights, respectively, from the optical system; first and second monitoring parts detecting the diverged first and second test lights, respectively; and an operational check part causing the first and second test lights to be incident on output and input deflection parts of the optical system by driving a specific input deflection part corresponding to the specific input port and a specific output deflection part corresponding to the specific output port, respectively, and performing an operational check on the output and input deflection parts from the light levels of the detected first and second test lights, respectively.Get more news about mems optical switch,you can vist our website!
OMM Inc., a supplier of MEMS-based optical switch array modules, announced today it will cease operations effective March 7. The company said it will release all of its 85 employees as of that date and will assign all assets to its creditors.
"OMM has been highly successful in the design and manufacture of the world's first commercial MEMS-based optical matrix switches," said Phil Chapman, president and CEO of OMM. "The company shipped products to more than 60 telecommunications equipment manufacturers and achieved numerous customer design wins. However, with the severe downturn in the worldwide telecom industry, the market timing for volume deployment of our products has been significantly impacted." The company had been seeking additional private funding to continue its operations, he said.
OMM, originally called Optical Micro-Machines, was started in San Diego in 1997 and was funded by a combination of venture capital and strategic customer investments. Venture investors included Sevin Rosen Funds, Atlas Venture, Bessemer Venture Partners, Rho Capital Partners and Weston Presidio. Strategic investors included Nortel Networks, Siemens, Alcatel, Sycamore Networks, Solectron, Fairchild Semiconductor and Corvis Corporation.
