Premium High Speed Non-Drift 1×1, 1×2 Fiber Optical Switch Single Stage: 50ns, 23dB On/Off

SKU: NPNS

The NPNS Non-Drift Series fiber optic switch uniquely features low optical loss, fast response, high on-off extinction, little drift, and high optical power handling. This is achieved using patented electro-optical configuration in combination with push and pull driving scheme that prevent charge build up induced drift. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type. The NSND 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 NP 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).
