I've asked a similar question before, but do you (or anyone else) think Nanovation has a chance to provide a photonic solution for "future lambda switching-time criteria"? I take it you are referring to MEMS technology when you mention mirrors. I am also curious as to what people think of Agilent's "bubble" technology for swithching. Thanks.

Frum LU's site: The optical layer bandwidth management used in the WaveStar LambdaRouter is made available thanks to Lucent Technologies MicroStar Technology. MicroStar Technology leverages Bell Labs? patented research in the area of Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. MicroStar technology is used to attain relatively large switching fabrics with sub-millisecond switching speed and a small product footprint. MicroStar relies on an array of hundreds of electrically configurable microscopic mirrors fabricated on a single substrate to direct light. The switching concept is based on freely moving mirrors being rotated around micro-machined hinges. All optical connections to working and spare mirrors will be easily accessible for field reconfiguration. In addition, the electronics to support mirror calibration will be provided for all mirrors and will be controllable via software. One doesn't know whether to laugh or what. Do you know what the mirrors do?
