An optical switch for switching an optical path of an input optical signal comprises a substrate composed of a silica glass substrate, a separation layer formed on the silica glass substrate, a plurality of cantilever beams and formed in parallel to one another on the separation layer and connected at their tip ends to a connection member, at least one silica glass optical waveguide core formed on the cantilever beams, a plurality of optical waveguide fixed in opposition to the silica glass optical waveguide core, a cover for covering the cantilever beams, and a switch drive unit for bending the cantilever beams. The switch drive unit comprises electromagnetic actuators, which comprise soft magnetic bodies formed on the connection member for the cantilever beams and on the substrate, soft magnetic yokes formed of a soft magnetic body, permanent magnets, and wire coils.

Commutateur optique permettant de commuter un trajet optique d'un signal optique d'entrée. Comprend un substrat composé d'un substrat de verre de silice, une couche de séparation formée sur le substrat de verre de silice, un certain nombre de poutres en porte-à-faux formées parallèlement entre elles sur la couche de séparation et connectées à leurs extrémités à un élément connecteur, au moins une âme de guide optique en verre de silice formée sur les poutres en porte-à-faux, un certain nombre de guides optiques fixés en opposition à l'âme de guide optique en verre de silice, une gaine recouvrant les poutres en porte-à-faux, et une unité de commande de commutateur pour courber les poutres en porte-à-faux. L'unité de commande de commutateur comprend des déclencheurs électromagnétiques, qui comprennent des corps magnétiques souples formés sur l'élément connecteur des poutres en porte-à-faux et sur le substrat, des culasses magnétiques souples formées sur un corps magnétique souple, des aimants permanents et des bobines de fil.
