An optical switch includes an input port into which a multiplexed optical signal is input; a dispersing unit that, according to wavelength, disperses the multiplexed optical signal into a plurality of optical signals that are each dispersed in a unique direction; a converging unit that converges the dispersed optical signals; plural mirrors that are arrayed forming a single row in a plane and reflecting the converged optical signals, respectively; and plural output ports through which the reflected optical signals are output. Each of the mirrors has a concave reflective surface that is in the plane and of a predetermined curvature about an axis parallel to the plane.
An optical switch comprising:
A method of adjusting an optical switch that includes a dispersing unit that disperses an input multiplexed optical signal into a plurality of optical signals and a plurality of mirrors that reflect the optical signals to a plurality of output ports, respectively, wherein each of the mirrors rotates about a first axis and a second axis to change a first reflection angle and a second reflection angle thereof, respectively, and has a concave reflective surface having a predetermined curvature about the second axis about which each of the mirrors rotates for switching between the output ports, the method comprising:
