Optical switch with coarse and fine deflectors

An optical switch for deflecting a beam of light between an input and an output of the optical switch in response to low frequency and high frequency control signals, comprising a first beam deflector disposed in an optical path of said beam of light between said input and said output for coarsely directing the beam of light in response to the low frequency control signals and a second beam deflector disposed in said optical path of said beam of light between said input and said output for finely directing the beam of light in response to the high frequency control signals.

An optical storage drive, comprising a disk having an optical storage location and an optical switch for deflecting a beam of light between an input and an output of the optical switch, said optical switch having a first beam deflector disposed in an optical path of said bean of light between said input and said output for coarsely directing the beam of light in response to low frequency control signals and a second beam deflector disposed in said optical path of said beam of light between said input and said output for finely directing the beam of light in response to high frequency control signals.

An optical switch for deflecting a beam of light extending along an optical path in response to low frequency and high frequency control signals, comprising a first deflector disposed in the optical path for coarsely directing the beam of light in response to the low frequency control signals and a second deflector disposed in the optical path of the coarsely directed beam of light for finely directing the beam of light in response to the high frequency control signals.
