Designed for the most demanding applications, these optical fibre switches are compact and reliable with millisecond switching times over a long 100M cycle lifetime. Covering VIS (400-690nm), NIR (700-1100nm) and IR (1260-1360nm, 1480-1630nm) spectral bands, as well as the polarisation maintaining PM (1310-1550nm) band, these optical switches can be tailored to suit a wide range of optical communication technologies, for both single mode or multi-mode fibre.
This patented micro-optical/micro-mechanical technology includes:
- < -60dB channel crosstalk
- < -60dB return loss
- < 0.005dB repeatability
- 100mW optical power
- RS232, TTL or USB interface
A range of cross connections are possible including 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 2x4 and 2x8 channels. A 19” rack mount option is available and multi-channel shutters.
Applications include multi-channel laser sources, and detectors, multiple sensor monitoring, laser scanning microscopy, SPAD arrays and micro-optics, and spectroscopy.
