1. A micromirror optical switch, comprising:

  • a plurality of micromirrors;

    at least one of said micromirrors suspended from a first support structure by a first pair of flexible couplings and suspended from a second support structure by a second pair of flexible couplings;

    wherein said flexible couplings are configured for allowing said at least one of said micromirrors to tilt;

    said optical switch configured for separating at least one wavelength component in an optical beam from at least one other wavelength component of said optical beam;

    said optical switch configured for independently switching said at least one wavelength component from at least one input port to at least one output port.
