Optical Switches
Ultra-Broadband/Low-Loss Regular 1x1, 1x2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch
The FF Series fiber optic switch delivers industry-leading performance, offering nearly lossless, continuous light transmission without perturbations. Its ultra-broadband operation is limited only by the intrinsic properties of the fiber, making it highly versatile for a wide range of applications. The switch features fast switching times (<1 ms), insensitivity to temperature and vibration, a high on/off extinction ratio, high polarization extinction ratio, and cost-effective. At the core of this innovative design is a MEMS-based auto-alignment silicon chip, which achieves direct fiber-to-fiber coupling. A tiny gap (less than 5 microns) between fibers is filled with a non-fluorescent, index-matching liquid, creating an ultra-low-loss optical path without requiring lenses or coatings—effectively eliminating surface reflection issues.
