ABSTRACT:
Switching device between optical fibers, for ensuring continuity of transmission between the end of a first fiber (2) and the end of any of a group of other fibers (3). The end of the first fiber (2) is placed at the center (C) of a spherical mirror (1) and the ends of the other fibers (3) are arranged symmetrically relative to the first fiber in the plane perpendicular to the axis and passing through the center (C). The device comprises, between the fibers (2, 3) and the mirror (1), an optically deviating member (5) and means to rotate it on itself about the axis of the mirror (1).
