Hermetic Optical Switch 1×1, Dual 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 – Fiber-Fiber™

SKU: FFSH

The FFSH Series hermetic fiber optic switch is designed for space applications. It is based on our patented MEMS technology that self-aligns a fiber directly to another fiber with a tiny gap filled with an index-matching liquid. Our breakthrough technology enables light to propagate continuously without interruptions, eliminating the need for lenses, AR coating, and reflections from internal surfaces. It offers unparalleled advantages of nearly lossless low loss, broad wavelength operation from 200nm~4000nm, little back-reflection, amicable to any fiber types, and vibration insensitive. The switching is activated via an electromagnetic relay. It has non-latching and latching options. Latching operation only consumes power during switching; it magnetically preserves the selected optical path after removing the electrical power. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 4.5V.
The FFSH Series switch can accommodate all types of fibers, including SM, MM, PM, double cladding, bendable, large core, and small core. Our FFSH switches provide performance for special fiber no other technology can match.
