“…4 However, 2D OXCs based on planar waveguide technology does offer the unique advantage of being able to integrate the switching function with existing planar waveguide components such as the the AWG. 5 When interfacing the optical circuit to the MEMS micromirror switches, collimation is required to allow the optical beam to propagate a reasonable distance in free-space. This can be achieved using lenses such as the graded index (GRIN) fibre lens 6 or the spherical lens.…”
