<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical switch simplifying tracking control. <P>SOLUTION: The optical switch 10 is provided with: microlenses 2a for collimating optical signals; a light deflecting element part 3 for varying the deflection angles of the collimated optical signals; slab waveguides 4 for propagating the optical signals; an optical deflector 5 for varying the deflection angles of the optical signals inputted through the slab waveguides 4, and a plurality of channels provided with output side channel waveguides 7a. The channel waveguides 7a are arranged so that their axes are tilted against the optical axes of the microlenses 2a, and the input ports are deviated from the optical axes of the microlenses 2a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
