SWITCH FOR OPTICAL FIBRES

摘要

The invention concerns a bistable or multistable optical fibre (50, 51, 52) optomechanical switch (1) comprising at least one optical fibre (51) mobile relative to at least one fixed optical fibre (50, 52), a permanent magnet (20) threaded on the mobile fibre (51), means for controlling (40) the magnet (20) and the associated mobile fibre (51) displacement, means for maintaining (33, 34) the magnet and the associated mobile fibre (51) in any one of the stable positions.
