An optical switch has a platform, and an optical fiber is held in an optical fiber fixing V-shaped groove of the platform. A switch member is placed on the platform. The switch member has a frame body, and the platform and a plurality of supplied positioning columns are provided on the lower side of the frame body. A cantilever beam is fixed to the frame body, and a mirror is fitted to the end of this cantilever beam. A pair of electrodes are fixed on the platform. The mirror is vertically moved by applying a voltage between the electrodes and the cantilever beam to generate an electrostatic force there between.

L'invention concerne un commutateur optique comportant une plate-forme, une fibre optique étant maintenue dans une rainure de fixation de fibre optique de la plate-forme. Un élément de commutation est placé sur la plate-forme. L'élément de commutation comporte un corps de structure, et la plate-forme comporte une pluralité de colonnes de positionnement situées sur le côté inférieur du corps de structure. Un élément en porte-à-faux est fixé au corps de structure, et un miroir est fixé à l'extrémité de cet élément. Deux électrodes sont fixées sur la plate-forme. Un déplacement vertical du miroir est provoqué par l'application d'une tension entre les électrodes et l'élément en porte-à-faux afin de produire une force électrostatique entre ceux-ci.
