350/spl times/350 modular optical cross-connect with closed-loop controlled MEMS mirrors

We describe a modular MEMS based optical cross-connect switch. Each module has 16 ports with closed-loop servo-controlled mirrors. We have achieved switching times of <10 ms, excellent optical power stability, and immunity to stochastic vibrations.
