Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: beam control circuitry for controlling deflection of a first cantilevered MEMS optical beam waveguide, comprising: a plurality of separate deflection electrodes positioned to control deflection of the first cantilevered MEMS optical beam waveguide, the separate deflection electrodes comprising a vertical deflection electrode positioned above the first cantilevered MEMS optical beam waveguide and a plurality of separate lateral deflection electrodes positioned on at least a first side of the first cantilevered MEMS optical beam waveguide; and a bias circuit connected to provide separately controllable bias voltages to the plurality of separate deflection electrodes, thereby generating controlled, two-dimensional deflection of the first cantilevered MEMS optical beam waveguide.
