An optical switch uses two ferroelectric liquid crystal spatial light modulators ( 10, 11 ) with an interconnect region in between. The switch uses bulk lenses ( 2, 8 ) to focus light from an input fibre array ( 1 ) to a first spatial light modulator ( 10 ), and from the second spatial light modulator ( 11 ) to an output array ( 9 ). Each spatial light modulator displays a respective hologram selected from a previously calculated set, to cause a desired switching of light from the input fibre array to the output array.
