N BLOCKING SWITCH
DiCon’s MEMS Biomedical MxN Blocking Optical Switch allows
one of M input
fi
bers to connect to one of N output
fi
bers, and
blocks all other inputs. This allows one source from many to be
selected and to connect to one desired output
fi
ber. Based on Di-
Con’s industry proven MEMS technology, DiCon uses proprietary
techniques to optimize the performance of traditional telecommu-
nications
fi
ber optic switches for biomedical use.
