ABSTRACT:
A two input, two output optical switch includes two movable mirrors. Each movable mirror is used for two optical signal reflections, one from an input fiber collimator to the same or a different movable mirror via a fixed cover mirror, and one from the same or a different movable mirror via the fixed cover mirror to an output fiber collimator. A single electrode may be used to control the mirror positions.
