Ultrafast Fiber Optical Shutter/Switch – 1ns

The UFSS is an ultra-fast fiber optical shutter or 1×1 switch based on a semiconductor amplifier, offering a rapid switching speed of approximately 1 ns. It combines low polarization sensitivity, wide optical bandwidth, and a high extinction ratio. Utilizing the gain and absorption properties of a multiple quantum well (MQW) structure, the UFSS provides effective light blocking without introducing reflections, making it ideal for high-performance and precision applications. Designed to handle high gain and signal levels, the UFSS ensures reliable operation at input power levels of 15 dBm or higher. It is housed in an industry-standard 14-pin butterfly package and available with either single-mode (SM) or polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber pigtails, terminated with FC/APC connectors. For PM fiber models, the connector key is aligned to the slow axis.
