| Zusammenfassung: | An optical switch has a light reflecting surface 1, means 2 for rotating the light reflecting surface about an axis through the plane ofthe surface (3 Figure 2) and a plurality of fibre optics 5 located around the light reflecting surface whereby rotation of the light reflecting surface enables switching of a light source between one or more fibre optics. The light reflecting surface may be planar mirror. The rotating means may be an electric motor. A light source or detector 6 is shown. |
