Shi-Sheng Lee received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering
from University of California, Los Angeles, in 1995 and 1998, respectively.
In 1998, he joined the Global Optoelectronics Division of AMP, Inc. as a
Senior Development Engineer, where he was involved in the development of
MEMS-based optical switches. In 1999, he joined the Microelectromechnical
Systems (MEMS) Department of Rockwell Science Center as a Member of
Technical Staff, where he conducted researches on MEMS technologies in
optical and defense applications. In May 2000, he joined Tellium, Inc. as
a Senior Member Technical Staff, where he is currently working on the
development of core optical cross-connect switches based on MEMS
technologies. He has authored and co-authored more than forty technical
publications in the area of MEMS processing and optical MEMS. Dr. Lee is a
member of IEEE and Eta Kappa Nu.
Astract:
Rapid growth in demand for network capacity and the sudden maturation of
wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) technologies have led to development
of long-haul optical network systems that transport tens to hundreds of
wavelengths per fiber, with each wavelength carrying data at 10 Gb/s or
faster. At the same time, they have opened up a number of new application
opportunities for MEMS technology. For example, MEMS devices such as
mirrors and lenses are found to be the enabling technologies to build the
next-generation cost-effective and reliable large port-count optical
cross-connects (OXCs)
