ABSTRACT:
A latching mechanism is provided for selectively latching mirrors in an optical switch. The mirrors are selectively movable between rest and actuated positions. The latching mechanism provides stable latching of mirrors in an actuated position, i.e., without power being applied to maintain the actuated state.
