Abstract

Dispositif de transmission d'ondes optiques comprenant une structure présentant des moyens de guidage optique, la structure comprenant un corps et une partie déformable soumise à des moyens d'actionnement et présentant une plate-forme placée entre deux parties dudit corps, ladite plate-forme et lesdites parties dudit corps présentant des flancs en vis-à-vis glissant les unes par rapport aux autres sous l'effet dudit moyen d'actionnement. Chaque partie (7, 8) dudit corps (3) comprend au moins deux moyens de guidage optique (13, 14; 15, 16) dont les extrémités débouchent sur lesdits flancs correspondants (9, 100) et ladite plate-forme (5) comprend au moins quatre moyens de guidage optique (17, 18, 19, 20) dont les extrémités débouchent sur lesdits flancs correspondants (11, 12). La partie mobile et le moyen d'actionnement sont agencés de telle sorte que lesdits moyens de guidage optique constituent un inverseur.
