<p>An optical switch and attenuator (10, 150, 200) in which any waveguide (48) in an input waveguide bundle (18) may be selectively optically aligned or misaligned with any waveguide (48) in an output waveguide bundle (20). The waveguide bundles (18, 20) are attached to beams (12, 14, 190, 192, 206, 204) that translate the bundles (18, 20) through non-parallel arcs. The optical switch (10, 150, 200) provides high-performance switching and attenuation of any number of input and output waveguides (48).</p> |
