Abstract

Optomechanical device comprising in an integrated optics guiding structure, a fixed part and a mobile part, which is connected to the fixed part, said mobile part being located between i output microguides formed in the fixed part and j input microguides also formed in the fixed part, characterized in that the mobile part comprises a mass, which is only connected by fixing arms to the fixed part, so as to permit the displacement of the mass in a first direction, said mass having k microguides to permit the switching of a light beam from one of the j input microguides to one of the i output microguides.
