ABSTRACT:
An optical switch device for driving a movable member mounting a light reflection member thereon by a magnetic drive circuit, wherein, in an optical waveguide switching device (1) as an optical switch device, a movable member (2) mounting thereon an optical waveguide switching prism mirror (2) is driven in an X direction by a magnetic drive circuit while being floated from a fixing-side member (13) in order to improve stability of a light outputting position. When the movable member (2) is moved to a desired position in the X direction, power supply to solenoids (45, 46) is stopped in a clamp mechanism (40), and a clamp plate (41) presses the movable member (2) against the fixing-side member (13) to fix it. A V-groove (30) formed in the movable member (2) and a V-groove (31) formed in the fixing-side member (13) mesh each other to position the movable member (2) in the X direction.
