UV-IR No-Gap Fast 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 Fiber Optical Switches, 0.4ms (1x2)

UV-IR No-Gap Fast 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 Fiber Optical Switches, 0.4ms (1x2)

MSE Supplies offers UV-IR No-Gap Fast 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 Fiber Optical Switches, 0.4ms (1x2). This series fiber optic switch provides exceptional performance with nearly lossless transitions, ultra-broadband capabilities with little wavelength dependence, which is only limited by fiber characteristics, minimal temperature dependence, a large on/off ratio, vibration insensitivity, and low cost. This version is specially designed for fast optical switching in less than milliseconds on both the rise and fall, as well as a high repetition rate reaching 50Hz. It connects optical channels by fiber-to-fiber direct coupling using a silicon-based micro-mechanical auto-alignment platform that is wafer-level produced in-house. The established optical path has no air gap, uses no lens or coating, and eliminates unwanted surface reflection-related issues. The platform is robust and insensitive to temperature and vibration. The FF Series switch can accommodate all types of fibers with 0.125mm outer diameter, including SM, MM, PM, double cladding, bendable, large, and small core. The FF switches uniquely provide performance no other technologies can match. The FF switches are activated via an electrical relay. The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the electrical power is removed. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 4.5V.
