This paper presents a novel implementation scheme of the Benes network based on the 2-D MEMS technology. A recursive design procedure is proposed defining the switch geometry for any optical port-count. An analytical approach is adopted to provide a scalability evaluation of the architecture based upon basic parameters such as number of mirrors, substrate area, longest optical path and highest number of reflections.
