Micro-electro-mechanical System (MEMS) optical switch is a kind of optical switch based on MEMS, which realizes the precise control of optical signal path through the precise combination of micro-mechanical structure (such as micro-mirror array) and electronic control circuit.

MEMS optical switches offer several advantages, including:

1. Low insertion loss and crosstalk: This helps ensure clear transmission of the optical signal.

2. High switching speed and reliability: MEMS optical switches perform well in high-speed and large-capacity optical communication systems.

3. Low power consumption: helps to reduce the overall energy consumption of the system.

4. Compact size and high integration potential: MEMS optical switches are easy to be compatible with large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing processes, facilitating mass production, integration and expansion.

MEMS optical switches have a wide range of applications in optical communication, including but not limited to:

1. Optical cross-connection (OXC): MEMS optical switch is a key device to achieve optical cross-connection in optical networks, which can dynamically adjust the transmission path of optical signals according to network requirements.

2. Optical division multiplexing (OADM): In the optical division multiplexing system, MEMS optical switches can accurately control the uplink and downlink of optical signals to achieve flexible insertion and extraction of optical signals.

3. Network monitoring and protection: The integrated monitoring software MEMS optical switch can monitor the status of the network in real time, and quickly switch the optical path in the event of failure to achieve self-healing protection of the network

4. Optical sensing and testing: In the field of optical fiber sensing and testing, MEMS optical switches can be used to build multi-channel test systems to achieve comprehensive testing and evaluation of optical fiber performance, optical device performance and network performance.

5. Data centers and cloud computing: With the rapid development of data centers and cloud computing, the demand for optical network bandwidth and flexibility is increasing. MEMS optical switches have become an important choice for building high-performance data center optical networks due to their high efficiency and flexibility.
