An optical switch is a device that enables optical signals to be selectively switched-on and -off or switched from one channel to another. The former is known as an optical (time-domain) switch or an optical modulator, while the later can be specifically called an optical space switch. In its ways to be switched temporally or spatially, it can be seen as physical analogies to the one-way or two-way switches in electrical circuits. In general, optical space switches and modulators can be made from each other.
