Optical switch for use with fiber-optic cable has deflection device(s) that refract light beam to give offset arranged individually/in combination between arrays as drive/part of drive so as to be movable into and out of light beams

摘要

The device has two arrays (1,2) each positioning the end regions of fiber-optic cables at a distance apart and at least one lens (3,4) arranged at a distance from each cable end, whereby the cable ends face each other. At least one deflection device (5) that refracts a light beam (6, 7) to give an offset can be arranged individually or in combinations between the arrays as a drive or as part of a drive so as to be movable into and out of the light beams.
