High Speed Fiber Optical Resonant Switch: 10-100 MHz Fixed Rate
The resonance NS Series fiber optic switch/modulator is either a 2-port or a 3-port device featuring fast amplitude modulation at a fixed frequency with a selection from 10 to 90 MHz and low optical loss. This is achieved using a patented electro-optical configuration with a built-in high Q resonant circuit. Unlike other modulators, we use special electro-optical crystals of high stability that increase power handling and reduce drift/darkening. The NS fiber optic switch meets the most demanding switching requirements of continuous operations over 25 years and has non-mechanical ultra-high reliability. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type. Our resonant EO phase modulators can be driven by a standard laboratory function generator with a Half-Wave Drive Voltage of only 15 V at 633 nm.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect High Speed Fiber Optical Resonant Switch: 10-100 MHz Fixed Rate to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, PM850, PM980, MM50/125, Special · Fiber Cover: 900um tube, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1060, 1310, 1550, 1625, 1750
- Check the Optical Switches passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
- Control interface
- Driver: None, Yes
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
