An optical switch device is disclosed that includes an optical system
deflecting and outputting input light signals using deflector parts;
resistor parts provided in corresponding routes for feeding driving
signals output from drivers to the corresponding deflector parts; a
signal generator part generating a DC signal and an AC signal and feeding
the DC and AC signals to the deflector parts through the corresponding
drivers and the corresponding resistors; a threshold generator part
generating a first threshold and a second threshold corresponding to the
DC and AC signals, respectively; a voltage detector part detecting a
voltage across each of the resistor parts; and a failure detector part
determining whether the deflector parts are normal or out of order based
on the corresponding results of comparing the voltages detected by the
voltage detector part with at least one of the first threshold and the
second threshold.
