应用于全光网络的光开关技术研究

随着信息技术、光通信技术的发展，全光网络（AON）成为信息时代的主流，OXC光交叉连接）、OADM（光分插复用）是全光网络的核心，而光开关是实现OADM、OXC的关键器件，因此研制应用于全光网络的光开关具有重大意义。重点对光开关在OADM、OXC中的应用及光开关可能采取的方案进行研究，认为在未来的光纤通信集成电路（IC）的芯片之争中，微机电系统（MEMS）光开关技术举足轻重。

Research on Optical Switches Applied in All - Optical Network

With the development of information technology and optical communication, AON (All-Optical Network) has become a mainstream in this information age With OXC and OADM are the core of the AON and all kinds of optical switches are the key parts of them. So it is very important to research on the optical switches used on AON. In this paper, the application of optical switches in AON and the ways to manufacture optical switches are discussed. In our opinion, MEMS(Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology will play an important role in the future optical communication.
