Optical MEMS (MOEMS)-based Communications Components, Devices and Subsystems

   Scope:

   It  is  very clear that Optical MEMS (MOEMS) technologies have already
   impacted  the  optical communications components, devices, subsystems,
   and  systems.  It  is expected that these technologies will be shaping
   the  future  All-Optical  IP-Networks.  They are shrinking the size of
   components and devices, increasing the performance, lowering the cost,
   etc.  Therefore,  there  will  be  a  big  market  for the MOEMS-based
   communications  components  and  devices.  Furthermore,  the  emerging
   nano-technology  might combine the MOEMS to achieve more advantages to
   optical  communications components, devices, and subsystems. Hence, we
   would  like  to  have  this  Feature Topic published in the March 2003
   issue  of  IEEE  Communications  Magazine  and distributed at the 2003
   Optical Fiber Communications Conference (OFC 2003).

   This  Feature  Topic  seeks  to  present  a series of state-of-the-art
   articles   on  MOEMS-based  communications  components,  devices,  and
   subsystems.  In  particular,  we are interested in tutorial and survey
   articles on, but not limited to, the following topics:
     * MOEMS-based  Concepts  for Communications components, Devices, and
       Subsystems
     * MOEMS-based  Systems  Architecture  for Communications components,
       Devices, and Subsystems
     * MOEMS-based  Designs  for  Communications components, Devices, and
       Subsystems
     * MOEMS-based  Technologies  for Communications components, Devices,
       and Subsystems
     * MOEMS-based  Manufacturing for Communications components, Devices,
       and Subsystems
