  • Rotatable optical imaging device for aligning and switching between optical fibers
    Patent number: 4650277
    Abstract: An optical switching device selectively couples an optical port of a first type (e.g., an input port, at which a light beam is introduced into the apparatus) to one of at least two optical ports of a second type (e.g. output ports, from which a light beam leaves the apparatus) which are at predetermined, angularly-spaced positions about a central axis of the device. The device comprises an optical imaging device mounted to rotate about the central axis between a first position, in which the port of the first type is optically conjugate with one of the ports of the second type, and a second position, in which the port of the first type is optically conjugate with the other port of the second type.
