20130119243 | OPTICAL MONITORING MODULE - An optical device and method providing multi-channel bulk optical power monitoring is disclosed. The device and method may include a scanning mirror, a plurality of input optical fibers, a plurality of output optical fibers, and at least one sample optical fiber optically connected to a photodetector. The device and method may further include a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface. The first reflective surface may reflect light from the input optical fibers to the second reflective surface. The second reflective surface may reflect a first portion of the light into the output optical fibers and pass a second portion of the light to the scanning mirror. The scanning mirror may reflect samples of the second portion of the light into the at least one sample optical fiber. | 05-16-2013 |
20120287492 | MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH A CENTER OF MASS BALANCED BY A MIRROR SUBSTRATE - MEMS and fabrication techniques for positioning the center of mass of released structures in MEMS are provided. In an embodiment, a minor substrate is affixed to a member partially released from a first substrate and a through hole formed in the second substrate is accessed to complete release of the member. | 11-15-2012 |
20120286378 | MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH BALANCED CENTER OF MASS - MEMS and fabrication techniques for positioning the center of mass of released structures in MEMS are provided. A released structure may include a member with a recess formed into an end face of its free end. A released structure may include a plurality of members, with the longitudinal lengths of the members being of differing lengths. Mass of a member disposed below a plane of a flexure may be balanced by mass of a second substrate affixed to the member. In an embodiment, a mirror substrate is affixed to a member partially released from a first substrate and a through hole formed in the second substrate is accessed to complete release of the member. | 11-15-2012 |
