Abstract
This paper describes two microactuators used to align fiber optics. One, an actuator using a thin strand of shape memory alloy, is used to align an input fiber with one of two output fibers. This component is useful for switching fiber-optic signals. The second is an electrostatic actuator capable of switching optical fibers, and also of making fine adjustments to correct for misalignments.
