High-power optical microswitch based on direct fiber actuation

An optical microswitch is presented for high-power switching applications. The device, capable of switching several watts of optical power, employs large-core multimode fibers to switch output from a laser diode operating at a wavelength of 810 nm. Switching is achieved through the direct deflection...
