SKU: FFST

The Ultra-Broadband Fast Fiber Optical Shutter is based on a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) fiber-to-fiber direct coupling platform driven by a fast piezo actuator. It uniquely offers near-perfect performances that are unmatched in the industry, including ultra-low insertion loss of 0.2dB, ultra-broadband from 200 to 2100nm, high blocking level >65dB, high optical power handling up to 1W (for small core fiber this is an option). Light passes through the device with a thin index-matched gap without any optical coatings. It is available with all types of fibers having a 125-micron outer diameter. Other diameter fibers can be accommodated with special order.

The Shutter is integrated with a PCB having USB with GUI software and four sub-mount pins: two for 0-5V DC power input and two for 0-5V control input.
