Abstract :
Summary from only given. This paper has supplied a new concept of design on the fiber optical switch. As can be seen if the switch can be micromachined and massive production, a simple, compact and cheap fiber optical switch for a novel reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) and optical cross connect (OXC) can be achieved.
