Common use of Beam-Steering Optical Switch Clause in Contracts

Beam-Steering Optical Switch. Xxxxxxx DirectLight is a patented 3-dimensional beam-steering technology for optical matrix switches, combining piezoelectric actuation with integrated position sensors to provide transparent non-blocking connectivity between 2D arrays of collimated fibres directly in free space. Significantly, switching occurs completely independently of the power level, colour or direction of light on the path, enabling pre-provisioning of dark fibre and avoiding concatenation of switching delays across mesh or multi- stage switch networks.
