Abstract
A method for producing a switch for opening and closing optical connections between two end faces of an optical waveguide characterized by securing the two waveguides on a carrier part and a movable tongue with their end faces aligned and in contact with each other and then either deforming the tongue or a connecting piece, which connects the tongue to the carrier part to move the end of the tongue with the attached waveguide away from an edge of the carrier plate. In the preferred embodiment the tongue and part are integrally connected together by at least one integral stay which has been provided with a shallow bead which is pressed flat after securing the waveguides to the tongue and carrier plate to cause the desired spacing between the end faces of the waveguide.
