Premium High Speed Low-Drift 1×1, 1×2 Fiber Optical Switch: 50ns, 35dB On/Off

SKU: NPNC

The NS Premium Series fiber optic switch uniquely features low optical loss, fast response, high on-off extinction of 30dB, little drift, and high optical power handling. NPNC cascades two switches on an integrated driver providing high on-off extinction of 28dB, This is achieved using patented electro-optical configuration of clean fast response without ripples and temperature. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type. The NPNC fiber optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of continuous operations over 25 years. The non-mechanical design provides ultra-high reliability and vibration insensitivity. The NPNC Series switch is mounted on a specially designed PCB driver with 0-5V TTL trigger signals. The rise/fall time is intrinsically related to the crystal properties, and the repetition rate is associated with the driver. There are poor frequency response sections in the operation bandwidth due to the device resonances. No optical signal loss occurs during the switching in which optical power is transferred continuously from one port to another (see graph at the end).
The NS series switches respond to a control signal of any arbitrary form with frequency from DC up to MHz. The electrical power consumption is related to the repetition rate the switch is operated.
