Optical Switch Singlemode 1x2 - 1x4 - 2x2: Fiber Optics

The document describes fiber optic switches based on a proprietary micro-mechanical and micro-optical design. The switches feature low insertion loss and return loss, excellent repeatability, high optical isolation, broad spectral range, and short switching times. They are available in 1x2, 1x4, and 2x2 configurations with different wavelength ranges. The switches have a compact rugged housing and offer high reliability with a lifetime of over 108 switching cycles. They are designed for demanding applications in telecommunications, testing, measurement, and fiber Bragg grating sensors.

Optical switch singlemode


1x2 1x4 2x2

The fiber optical switches are based on a propriatory micro-mechanical / microoptical


design. This guarantees superior properties, wide flexibility for many applications and
highest long term reliability.
The switches are available for broad wavelength ranges from the visible to the infrared
various fiber types.

Optical Features

low insertion loss


low PDL
excellent repeatability
high optical isolation
ultra low back reflection
broad spectral ranges
short switching times up to 2.0 ms

Package Highlights
compact rugged metal housing
flexible housing options available

(compact with pigtails; table top or 19 rack mounts)

in house optical connectorization


low power consumption
integrated microcontroller with several electrical

interfaces servers for flexible switch control options

Reliability
excellent long term reliability: > 108 switching cycles
compliant with Telcordia GR-1073

Applications And Technology


The SM series has been developed to serve for the most demanding applications in
telecommunication, testing and measurement. Some examples for highly sophisticated
applications are laser scan microscopy, multi-channel optical power monitoring, fiber
bragg grating sensors, testing of fiberoptical transmission lines, environmental trace
analysis.
The optomechanical design of the switch ensures an excellent optical performance
combined with short switching time due to refractive microoptical components and
industry proofed high resonant actuators.
