Abstract: Optical switches can include collimator elements that accommodate two or more optical ports. This increases the number of ports the switch can accommodate without having to increase the size of other optical components within the switch. Separate deflectors can be used to accommodate optical signals from two different groups of ports. In some embodiments cross-coupling of signals between the two groups can be accomplished through use of re-direction optics.

Abstract translation: 光开关可以包括容纳两个或更多光端口的准直元件。 这增加了开关可以适应的端口数量，而不必增加开关内的其他光学部件的尺寸。 分离的偏转器可用于适应来自两个不同端口组的光信号。 在一些实施例中，两组之间的信号交叉耦合可以通过使用重新定向的光学器件实现。

Abstract: An optical apparatus can include an optical port array having an MxN array of fiber collimator ports. The array of ports is configured such that there is a gap within each column of ports located between two rows of ports. The gap is wide enough to permit a hitless beam switching trajectory to pass between the two rows of ports from one side of the array of ports to an opposite side.
