ABSTRACT:
An optical switch is provided with an optical-fiber-arraying-member1in which a plurality of optical fiber fixing grooves1aextending along radial directions of a virtual circle are radially formed in a predetermined surface of a base material, a plurality of array-side optical fibers2arrayed in the plurality of optical fiber fixing grooves1aof the optical-fiber-arraying-member1, and a moving-side optical fiber4to be selectively optically connected to either of the plurality of array-side optical fibers2; the moving-side optical fiber4and the optical-fiber-arraying-member1are rotated relative to each other about a center axis1oof the virtual circle, and the moving-side optical fiber4is selectively optically connected to the array-side optical fiber2selected.
