    Summary

    We developed a novel micro-optical waveguide (MOW) on a microactuating platform (MAP) to enable reconfigurable fiber optic switching. This technology allows for precise mechanical control of coupling characteristics, enabling dynamic wavelength routing and switching functions.

    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics and Photonics
    • Optical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Traditional fiber optic couplers lack dynamic tunability.
    • Achieving reconfigurable optical switching often requires complex and bulky components.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel technique for adding degrees of freedom to fiber optic coupler devices.
    • To demonstrate a reconfigurable 1x4 wavelength selective optical switching function using a microactuating platform.

    Main Methods:

    • Proposed and experimentally implemented a Micro-Optical Waveguide (MOW) on a Microactuating Platform (MAP) structure.
    • Utilized precise axial stress control via MAP to mechanically vary MOW coupling characteristics.
    • Mounted the coupling zone of a fused taper coupler array on the MAP for dynamic tuning.
