  • Patent number: 7546006
    Abstract: This invention relates to an optical switch with an arbitrary port number and its arrangement method for the optical communication system, and switches an optical path by using mirrors. The invention uses a network exchange algorithm to compute crossing points and reflecting points of the optical paths. Single-sided reflecting mirrors are disposed at the reflecting points of the optical path respectively, and double-sided reflecting mirrors are disposed at the crossing points of the optical path respectively. With the arrangement method, the arbitrary port number optical switch can be applied to satisfy the requirement for an arbitrary number of input and output terminals, so as to assure that an equal length of each optical path and to decrease the number of mirrors to minimize the cost, size and assembling time of the optical switch.

  • Publication number: 20090067781
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an optical switch having an optical switching function as well as an add/drop function. The optical switch includes two add optical fibers and two drop optical fibers. In addition to the optical switching function of the optical switch achieved by four movable mirrors, the optical switch also has the add/drop function when the four movable mirrors are moved out of the optical path. Therefore, the optical switch of the invention concurrently provides the optical switching function as well as the add/drop functions.

  • Patent number: 7444043
    Abstract: A 2×2 mechanical optical switch includes a base, four collimators (two input collimators and two output collimators), an ultra thin mirror (double-sided reflection) and a switching mechanism of the mirror. This switch utilizes four collimators, which are arranged 90° with each other on a common plane, to emit and receive parallel light beams at a certain distance. The light beams are reflected by an ultra thin mirror. When the mirror is moved away from the intersection point of two optical paths, the input lights will directly enter into output channels (transmission state). While the mirror is moved to the intersection point which is the reflection position, the optical beams will be bent into alternate output channels (reflection state) simultaneously from both sides of the ultra thin mirror.
