摘要
The move toward dense wavelength-division-multiplexed networks provides an application-rich environment for MEMS components and systems. In many crucial component applications, there are no clear technological winners, leaving room for new technologies such as MEMS to create inroads. In this paper, wavelength-division-multiplexed networks and their evolution are discussed and examples of several MEMS devices being developed for telecommunication systems are presented.
