An optical switch includes a dual-core optical fibre coupler having waveguides which are erbium doped, silica-based fibre amplifiers. The waveguides are pumped by pump lasers which are used to control the mean differential gain of the waveguides to be zero or a first value at which two values the linear coupler is a cross-coupler or a through-coupler at an operating wavelength.
