Optical switch for input stages of electrical/electronic circuits has movable magnetic element that opens light channel between input, output optical fibers by linear or rotary motion during switching process and thus defines switch state

摘要

The optical switch consists of a switching part and a trigger part. The switching part contains a movable magnetic element that opens a light channel between input and output optical fibers by a linear or rotary motion during a switching process and thus defines a switch state. Independent claims are also included for the following: (A) a rotation element (B) a linear element (C) a housing (D) a mounting plate (E) and a trigger part.
