Abstract:
An optical switch (16) for alternatively redirecting a source beam (14) includes a director assembly (18) that is selectively moveable between (i) a first switch position (350), (ii) a second switch position (352), and (iii) a dual switch position (354). In the first switch position (350), the source beam (14) passes to a first port (36). In the second switch position (352), the source beam (14) is directed to a second port (38). In the dual switch position (354), the director assembly (18) splits the source beam (14) into a first beam part (314A) that is directed to the first port (36), and a second beam part (314B) that is directed to the second port (38).
