Rotating beam switch

An apparatus to steer an optical beam provided by a collimating optical module to a selected one of receiving optical modules, wherein the apparatus comprises:

• an optical component to receive the optical beam provided by the collimating optical module;
• a motorized rotation stage including a base and a rotating section, wherein the rotating section is restricted to rotation, relative to the base, about a single axis;
• and
• an adjustable reflector mount including:
• a lower section to attach to a surface of the platform, and
• an upper section hingably or pivotally coupled to the lower section, the upper section including a first side coupled to the lower section and a second different side configured to receive a back side of the reflector,
• wherein the lower section is coupled to the platform and the back side of the reflector is affixed to the second side of the upper section, and wherein the reflector is adjustable, using the adjustable reflector mount, relative to the base in an axis that is different than the single axis;
• wherein the optical component is mounted to the rotating section, and the apparatus further includes circuitry to control the motorized rotation stage to rotate the rotating section amongst different rotational positions that correspond to the receiving optical modules, respectively;
• and
• wherein the optical component guides the optical beam to the selected one of the receiving optical modules based on a current rotational position of the rotating section.
