发明名称 Fiber-optic channel selecting apparatus
摘要 An optical channel selection device comprises a barrel, an internal optical fiber disposed within the barrel, a first bearing coaxially disposed around the barrel, and a first bearing sleeve coaxially disposed around the first bearing. The barrel is rotatable about a central axis, and comprises a first end surface and a second opposing end surface. The internal optical fiber includes a first fiber end and a second fiber end. The first fiber end is exposed on the first end surface at a radially offset distance from the central axis. The second fiber end is exposed on the second end surface collinearly with the central axis. The first bearing sleeve has a plurality of first bearing sleeve apertures circumferentially spaced from each other. Each first bearing sleeve aperture is disposed in the first bearing sleeve at the radially offset distance, and is selectively optically aligned with the second fiber end through incremental rotation of the barrel.
