The review critically analyzes the influence of design parameters, actuation mechanisms, and material properties on the performance of MEMS switches. Additionally, it explores recent advancements, breakthroughs, and innovative solutions proposed by researchers to address. arkable speed and efficiency by leveraging quantum phenomena such as entanglement, superposition, and interference1. Unlike classical computers, which rely on binary bits as the fundamental unit of co putation, quantum computers utilize quantum bits, or qubits, capable of representing multiple. Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) switches have emerged as pivotal components in the realm of miniature electronic devices, promising unprecedented advancements in size, power consumption, and versatility. Two primary technologies dominate WSS implementations: Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) and. 1 Abstract Circuit Design for Scalable and Fast Optical Circuit Switching by Erik Francis Anderson Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering - Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Vladimir Stojanovi´c, Co-chair Professor Ming C. The investigation shows a 50% increase in the actuation voltage at low temperature. A comparison has been made using a published model and showed similar increment. Optical packet switching provides an almost arbitrary fine granularity but faces significant challenges in the processing and buffering of bits at high speeds.
