Optical device for redirecting optical signals

An optical device, comprising:

• a plurality of input ports to direct a plurality of optical signals of selective wavelengths to a first direction;
• an array of optical blocks comprising a plurality of rows, extending in the first direction, aligned to each input port of the plurality of input ports and a plurality of columns extending in the second direction, wherein each of the optical blocks in the array is movable to a reflective position to redirect the respective optical signal from the first direction to the second direction and a transmissive position to allow the respective optical signal to transmit in the first direction;
• a plurality of output ports to receive the one or more optical signals redirected to the second direction;
• and
• an actuator to selectively move each of the optical blocks to the reflective position and the transmissive position.

A system comprising:

• an optical input extending in a first direction;
• an optical output extending in a second direction;
• and
• an optical device between the optical input and the optical output at the intersection of the first direction and the second direction, to redirect a plurality of optical signals of selective wavelengths transmitted from the optical input to the optical output, wherein the optical device comprises:
• a plurality of input ports to direct the plurality of optical signal to the first direction;
• an array of optical blocks comprising a plurality of rows, extending in the first direction, aligned to each input port of the plurality of input ports and a plurality of columns extending in the second direction, wherein each of the optical blocks in the array is movable to a reflective position to redirect the respective optical signal from the first direction to the second direction and a transmissive position to allow the respective optical signal to transmit in the first direction;
• and
• a plurality of output ports, each of the output ports aligned a column of the plurality of columns to receive the one or more optical signals redirected to the second direction.
