Scalable and modular automated fiber optic cross-connect systems
ActiveUS20100316334A1Improve reliabilitySmall sizeMultiplex system selection arrangementsProgramme controlComputer hardwareCross connection
This invention discloses highly scalable and modular automated optical cross connect switch devices which exhibit low loss and scalability to high port counts. In particular, a device for the programmable interconnection of large numbers of optical fibers (100's-1000's) is provided, whereby a two-dimensional array of fiber optic connections is mapped in an ordered and rule-based fashion into a one-dimensional array with tensioned fiber optic circuit elements tracing substantially straight lines there between. Fiber optic elements are terminated in a stacked arrangement of flexible fiber optic circuit elements with a capacity to retain excess fiber lengths while maintaining an adequate bend radius. The combination of these elements partitions the switch volume into multiple independent, non-interfering zones, which retain their independence for arbitrary and unlimited numbers of reconfigurations. The separation into spaced-apart zones provides clearance for one or more robotic actuators to enter the free volume substantially adjacent to the two-dimensional array of connectors and mechanically reconfigure connectors without interrupting other circuits.

Debris capture and removal for laser micromachining
A method of capturing and removing metallic debris created on a target side of a target metal specimen undergoing laser micromachining entails providing a barrier that encompasses the immediate volume surrounding a laser cutting head output nozzle to contain the ejected debris and extracting the debris through a vacuum outlet. A preferred system implementing this approach to debris management includes a barrier in the form of a flexible fiber brush configured in the shape of a ring and positioned to trap ejected debris within a localized area surrounding a target area where the laser beam is incident on the target metal specimen. The ring brush is made of material that is robust to molten metals. An inert gas directed at a high flow rate along the target surface of the metal specimen carries ejected surface debris trapped in the ring brush toward a vacuum outlet.
