An optical switch includes a plurality of first optical fibers, a plurality
of second optical fibers, a first MEMS array, and a second MEMS array. The
first MEMS array is optically coupled with the first optical fibers to
receive optical signals from the first optical fibers and to direct the
optical signals, wherein the first MEMS array defines a first array
incidence angle between a normal direction to the first MEMS array and a
direction of the received optical signals. The second MEMS array is
optically coupled with the first MEMS array to receive the directed
optical signals and to re-direct the directed optical signals with the
second optical fibers wherein the second MEMS array defines a second array
incidence angle between a normal direction to second MEMS array and a
direction of the re-directed optical signals. The configuration of the
components is provided to provide reduced optical losses.
