ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating an optical switch including a stationary support member, a movable support member, and at least one pair of optical fibers, the pair of optical fibers being supported on the stationary and movable support members, respectively, so that an optical path between optical fibers is changed by moving the movable support member. The method comprises the steps of preparing a guide with V-shaped grooves, securing at least one optical fiber element on the surface of the guide, bridging and fixing the guide on the stationary and movable support members, and separating the guide along at least a line extending between the stationary and movable support members. Thus, the guide and the optical fiber element is separated into a first part supported by the stationary support member and a second part supported by the movable support member, to constitute the optical switch having at least one pair of optical fibers.
