Abstract

Conmutador de fibra óptica, caracterizado porque comprende una primera, segunda y terceras fibras ópticas situadas de tal modo que en un movimiento lateral de la primera fibra óptica interrumpe la conexión óptica con la segunda fibra óptica y hace conexión con la tercera fibra óptica, estando recubierta la primera fibra óptica con un sustancia de recubrimiento eléctricamente conductiva, un dispositivo de electrodo situado adyacente a la primera fibra óptica, medios para acoplar el voltaje eléctrico al dispositivo de electrodo y al recubrimiento de la primera fibra de modo que el movimiento lateral de la fibra óptica se puede realizar electrostáticamente y medios de tope dieléctrico para evitar el contacto eléctrico del recubrimiento de la primera fibra con el dispositivo de electrodo.
