Title: Piezoelectric pump switch using movable liquid metal
Inventor: WONG MARVIN GLENN
IPC: H01H57/00
Filed: 2004-03-30
Abstract: A piezoelectric optical relay has a liquid metal, eg mercury, droplet (148) which is moved within a switching channel (128) formed in relay housing (100). An optical path passing through the switching channel (128) is blocked or unblocked by motion of the liquid metal droplet (148) that coalesces with one of two additional liquid metal droplets (150, 152). Motion of the liquid metal droplets is controlled by one or more piezoelectric pumps that control the flow of actuation fluid between a fluid reservoir (116) and the switching channel (128). In each piezoelectric pump, the volume of a pump chamber (120) is varied by using piezoelectric elements (122) in a bending mode to deform a flexible diaphragm (118). The liquid metal droplets are held in place by surface tension acting on wettable contact pads (143, 154, 156) within the switching channel (128). Surface tension of the liquid provides a latching mechanism for the relay. Optic fibres or waveguides 110, 112, 140, 144 are shown.
