Title:
OPTICAL SWITCH
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2002/103432
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An optical switch has a platform, and an optical fiber is held in an optical fiber fixing V−shaped groove of the platform. A switch member is placed on the platform. The switch member has a frame body, and the platform and a plurality of supplied positioning columns are provided on the lower side of the frame body. A cantilever beam is fixed to the frame body, and a mirror is fitted to the end of this cantilever beam. A pair of electrodes are fixed on the platform. The mirror is vertically moved by applying a voltage between the electrodes and the cantilever beam to generate an electrostatic force there between.
