Abstract
A switch includes a substrate and a microwave line comprising two tracks produced on the substrate, an active zone of the substrate being bounded by the two conductive tracks and connecting the two tracks. The switch comprises a set of at least one DC line, intended to convey a DC current, the DC line comprising two electrodes that are distant from each other and that are connected by a separation zone of the substrate, the separation zone being able to be made conductive when it is illuminated by the optical control beam so as to establish an electrical contact between the two electrodes, the two electrodes being separated by a separation plane of the DC line, the separation plane passing through the centre O and being perpendicular to the plane of the active zone.
