Ultra-Broadband/Low-Loss Dual 1x2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch

SKU: FFSW

The FF Series fiber optic switch connects optical channels by direct fiber to fiber connection via a micro-mechanical auto-alignment platform and activated via an electrical relay. The advanced design significantly increase the performance, offering unprecedented low optical loss, little wavelength dependence with no coatings, high power handling, as well as low cost. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the driver signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 4.5 V TTL.
Using no lens, the FF Series switch can accommodate all type of fibers, including SM. MM, PM, double cladding, bendable, large core, small core. The FF switches provide performance for special fiber no other technology can match.
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.
