<p>The present invention provides for a polarization independent optical switch (22) for selectively switching an optical signal from at least one input port (50 or 52) to a preselected one of a plurality of different output ports (54 or 56). The optical switch (22) operates to transmit all of the optical signal from an input port (50 or 52) to a predetermined one of the output ports (54 or 56) without first segmenting the optical signal into two polarizations.</p> |
