In this paper, a novel integrated optical beam router for MicroPhotonic switching is presented. The router uses a piecewise linear optic that steers and couples optical collimated beams to optical fibre ports with minimum loss and excellent tolerance to fluctuations in design parameters. Experimental results show that for a 1 x 2 MicroPhotonic switch, fibre-to-fibre optical coupling loss less than 1.05dB and insertion loss uniformity better than 0.2dB can be achieved, and the measured loss penalty for changes \pm 0.5mm in component position is negligible.
