UV-IR No-Gap Fast 1x1, 1x2, 2x2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch, 0.4ms

SKU: FFSW

The FF Series fiber optic switch provides exceptional performances of nearly lossless transition, ultra-broadband with little wavelength dependence that is only limited by fiber characters, little temperature dependence, large on/off ratio, vibration insensitivity, and low cost. This version is specially designed for fast optical switching of less than ms on both 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 core, 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 removing the electrical power. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 4.5V.
Lightpath in the device is bidirectional.
This switch uses a specially formulated index-matching liquid that does not generate fluorescent. The liquid fills a gap of less than 5 µm.
Switches with PM fibers transmit both polarizations the same way as the fiber.
