A first light reflection surface (51) and a second light reflection
surface (52) are formed on a lower half of a mirror block (50) in a state
that these light reflection surfaces (51), (52) make 90 degrees
therebetween. A first light reflection surface (51) and a second light
reflection surface (52) are also formed on an upper half of the mirror
block (50) in a state that these light reflection surfaces (51), (52)
make 90 degrees therebetween. A third light reflection surface (53) and a
fourth light reflection surface (54) are formed between the first light
reflection surface (51) and the second light reflection surface (52) such
that these light reflection surfaces (53), (54) make 90 degrees
therebetween. According to this optical switch, by changing a region
which reflects the light between the upper half and the lower half of the
mirror block (50), the coupling relationship between an input optical
fiber and an output optical fiber can be changed over.
