Zusammenfassung:A small, low-loss, easy-to-assemble mechanical-optical switch was developed. A series of trial productions of the switch were made and tested experimentally. These tests showed that the switch's insertion loss is 0.4 dB on average which varied less than 0.1 dB during a 10,000,000-cycles switching test and its return loss is greater than 45 dB. Moreover, the switch assembly process is suitable for mass production. It is concluded from these tests that the switch will be highly reliable in optical transmitting and testing applications.
