PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a movable arm and an optical fiber fitted to the movable arm from vibration generated when an optical switch is carded. SOLUTION: The optical switch is equipped with a fiber array member which has fiber fixation grooves formed on the top surface of a substrate and also has 1st optical fibers fixed in the fiber fixation grooves respectively, a substrate having fiber guide-in grooves opposite the direction of the fiber fixation grooves of the fiber array member, and a carrying mechanism which carries one or more 2nd optical fibers to the fiber guide-in grooves. In this case, the tip part of the movable arm which is moved in the array direction of the fiber guide-in grooves and in the up and down direction of the fiber guide-in grooves is held at a stand-by port 14 provided for a base where the fiber fixation grooves and substrate are supported and held, and a movable part in the fiber guide-in groove array direction is held in a recessed part 19 provided on the substrate side with a pin 18. |
