A MEMS-based selectable laser output optical device ( ) includes a laser source ( ) having a laser output . A MEMS switch ( ) is optically coupled to the laser source ( ) for selectively coupling the laser output ( ) from the laser source ( ) in one of two directions ( ) or ( ). The MEMS switch ( ) has a mirror ( ) that is slidable or otherwise movable from a first position ( ), where the mirror ( ) is laying flat or in another non-obstructing position to provide a non-obstructing linear exit optical path ( ). A second position ( ) where the mirror ( ) is in its upright vertically aligned direction, obstructs the linear optical path to re-direct the optical path in a non-linear direction.
