Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19706053A1] A switching arrangement is disclosed for switching and coupling a light beam irradiated by at least one optical element, such as an input fibre (2), into at least one output fibre among a number of output fibres (6). A beam deflecting and collimating optic (1) connected to an adjusting device with an adjusting element (10) is associated with the irradiated light beam or input fibre (2). Depending on an adjustment signal, the adjusting element (10) laterally shifts the input fibre (2) and the beam deflecting and collimating optic (1) in relation to one another, so that the collimated beam may be coupled via a deflecting optic (4) and a focusing optic (5) into at least one output fibre among a number of output fibres (6) arranged at a distance from the beam deflecting and collimating optic.(1).
