In conclusion, a free-space fiber optic switch has been demonstrated using the surface micromachining technology. With its monolithic microfabrication capability and three-dimensional characteristics, the switch can be made compact, light weight and low cost. The switch is potentially integrable with other micro-optical elements and controlling electronics. This project is supported by the ARPA/ESTO and the Packard Foundation.
