ABSTRACT:
Optical switch matrix having at least an input matrix port defining at least a row of the matrix, a plurality of output matrix ports defining columns of the matrix, a plurality of switching elements, each one being disposed at the intersection of at least one row and one of the columns. Each switch element in a predetermined position of the matrix, in an activated condition, connects an input matrix port to an output matrix port, the ports being correspondents respectively to the predetermined position of the matrix.
