The silicon micro-mirror structure is realized by using a proposed simple single-step anisotropic silicon etching process. Bi-stable solenoid-based actuators are designed and developed. The proposed device, which adapts the split-cross bar (SCB) design as the optical-path configuration, has many advantages such as low power consumption, easy fiber alignment, simple manufacturing process, and simple actuation scheme. The measured insertion loss of the device is about −0.9 ∼ −1.1 dB. The long-term reliability test shows that the deviations of the insertion losses are less than 0.03 dB after 10,000 switching cycles. Also, the measured cross-talk is about −60 dB, and the measured switching time is less than 10 ms.","PeriodicalId":421895,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Optical MEMS and Nanophotonics","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125645301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
