Abstract:
An optical switch for switching light beams coming from a first and a second input ports between a first and a second output ports, comprising:a base; a first input port, a second input port, a first output port and a second output port all supported by the base; and a reflector assembly mounted to the base, the reflector assembly comprising a first reflector and a second reflector and be rotatable with respect to the base between a first position and a second position; wherein, in the first position, the light beams propagate from the first input port to the first output port after being reflected by the first reflector and the light beams propagate from the second input port to the second output port after being reflected by the second reflector, and wherein, in the second position, the light beams propagate from the first input port to the second output port after being reflected by the first reflector and the light beams from the second input port propagate to the first output port after being reflected by the second reflector.
