Bistable latching actuator for use in optical fiber switching applications having a generally planar mechanism with an arm that carries a mirror for movement in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the mechanism, and a bistable mechanical latch for retaining the mirror in stable positions on opposite sides of the plane without contacting the arm. Movement between the two stable positions is initiated and damped with an electrostatic comb drive.
