    摘要: The invention relates to a switch that can be checked, which comprises a housing, an optical conductor (10) arranged in the housing, a deflecting device (16) for the optical conductor, which deflecting device is arranged in the housing, and a triggering device, which initiates a switching process of the switch and actuates the deflecting device at least at times. The deflecting device is designed in such a way that, when the deflecting device is actuated, the optical conductor is deflected in a defined manner such that the bending radius of the optical conductor changes in a defined manner. According to the invention, the switch that can be checked also has a restoring mechanism (34) for the deflecting device, and the restoring mechanism has a restoring delay, which returns the deflecting device to the original position of the deflecting device with a defined delay after the triggering device has been restored.

    摘要: An optical switch formed of a holographic optical element (HOE) disposed above a top surface of a substrate and moveable relative thereto is shown. Light is traveling through the substrate under total internal reflection, which creates an evanescent field extending beyond the reflecting surfaces of the substrate. The HOE is characterized, in one embodiment, by being formed from a plurality of strips that are moveable between a first position in which the strips are above the evanescent field and a second position in which the strips are inside the evanescent field. In the first position, the light in the substrate propagates unaffected by the HOE in a primary direction of propagation. In the second position, the light in the substrate is altered by the HOE and made to propagate in a reflected direction oblique to that of the primary direction of propagation.

    摘要: A ferrofluid controlled switch for a light pipe has a light pipe (10) having a first index of refraction, a fluid (18) responsive to a magnetic field having a second index of refraction, and an enclosure (14) concentrically located around at least a portion of the light pipe for retaining the fluid such that the fluid is capable of assuming two configurations, one adjacent to the light pipe and one separate from the light pipe. A controllable magnetic field device (22,23) such as a permanent magnet or wire coils are used to transfer the magnetically responsive fluid (18) between said two configurations to reduce the output of the light pipe (18) when the fluid is adjacent to the light pipe.

    摘要: An optical switch which selectively transmits or does not transmit light from an input optical fibre (10) to an output optical waveguide (11, 12) has one of the input (10) and output (11, 12) optical waveguides an optical fibre which is flexible and mounted to be capable of movement towards and away from the other, and an electrode (14) arranged to subject the one optical waveguide to an electrostatic field. In use, application of an electrical potential to the electrode (14) causes the one optical waveguide to move in a direction to enable or prevent optical coupling between the waveguides and hence operation of the switch. The optical fibre is a D-fibre so that it is more flexible in that direction is providing the fibre with a degree of self-alignment. It is preferred that the one optical waveguide is entirely electrically non-conducting and that the optical switch includes more than one electrode (14) to provide a non-uniform electrostatic field. In this case the one optical waveguide is caused to move towards the region of highest electrostatic field density and so move towards or away from the other waveguide to enable or prevent optical coupling between them.
