Abstract:
An optic switch comprising:a casing; at least a first and second optic input devices for directing optic signals into the optic switch; at least a first and second optic output devices for directing the optic signals out of the optic switch; wherein the first optic input device is substantially coaxially aligned with the first optic output device in a first direction, and wherein the second optic input device is substantially coaxially aligned with the second optic output device in a second direction; a movable reflection device comprising two movable reflective surfaces and movable between two positions; and a fixed reflection device comprising at least one fixed reflective surface; wherein when the movable reflection device is at a first position, light from the first optic device directs to the first optic output device, light from the second optic input device directs to the second optic output device, when the moveable reflection device at a second position, light from the first optic input device reflected by a first movable reflective surface and the fixed reflective surface to the second output device, light from the second input device is reflected by a second moveable reflective surface and direct to the first output device.
