An optical cross-connect device for optical networks is connected to reserve optical transmission lines and working optical transmission lines, and is used to switch optical signals. The optical cross-connect device includes a bypass component, a routing component and connection links. The bypass component includes an optical-space switch that is connected to the reserve optical transmission lines. The routing component also includes an optical-space switch that is connected to the working optical transmission lines. The connection links are connected between both input and output parts of the optical-space switch of both the bypass component and the routing component.

An optical switch having a plurality of switch cells. The optical switch has n inputs (n is a natural number) and m outputs (m is a natural number). The optical switch has a unit size defined as the distance between any two adjacent ones of the switch cells. The optical switch comprises a substrate having a switch size of K×L (K is an integer satisfying n≦K, and L is an integer satisfying m≦L), first and second mirrors parallel to each other and perpendicular to a principal surface of the substrate, and an optical unit providing a plurality of input optical paths for the n inputs and a plurality of output optical paths for the m outputs. The plurality of input optical paths are inclined relative to the first and second mirrors, and the plurality of output optical paths are inclined relative to the first and second mirrors. Each switch cell comprises a switch mirror provided movably relative to the substrate. With this configuration, the path dependence of loss is substantially eliminated.

摘要:
An address book accessed from a local panel is made accessible to Web users (remote panels) connected to a network, by Web server functions. Also, whether to permit or deny requests for changing the data of the address book from the local panel, and requests for changing the data of the address book from the remote panels, is determined.
