Fiberoptic Switch
(Protected by U.S. patent 13/210,703 and pending patents)
Product Description
The MEMS Series 1x2 Fiberoptic switch connects optical channels by
redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is
achieved using a patent pending MEMS configuration and activated via an
electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical
path after the drive signal has been removed. The switch has integrated
electrical position sensors. This novel design significantly reduces moving
part position sensitivity, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an
unmatched low cost. Electronic driver is designed in the switch.
We offer tight-bend-fiber version,
which reduces the minimum bending
radius from normal 15 mm to 7 mm.
This feature enables smaller overall
foot print.
