Disclosed are a multi-channel optical switch and a method for manufacturing
the same. The multi-channel optical switch includes a supporter; an input terminal
optical fiber fixed to the supporter for inputting an optical signal to be switched
therethrough; multiple output terminal optical fibers fixed to the supporter for
outputting the optical signal inputted through the input terminal optical fiber
therethrough; multiple micro mirrors for reflecting the optical signal inputted
through the input terminal optical fiber and then for directing the optical signal
to a designated output terminal optical fiber among the multiple output terminal
optical fibers; and multiple actuators respectively connected to the micro mirrors
for adjusting the positions of the micro mirrors so that the optical signal is
reflected by the micro mirrors.
