High Power 1×3/1×4 High Speed Optical Switch: 10W, 100ns, 18dB On/Off

NHSW, NHHW The NanoSpeed™ Series 1×3/1×4 solid-state fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output optical fiber. This is achieved using patent non-mechanical configurations with solid-state all-crystal designs, eliminating the need for mechanical movement and organic materials. The device is intrinsically bidirectional and has variable coupler behavior in which light is transferred from one to another port without loss. The NS fiber optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of ultra-high reliability, fast response time, and continuous switching operation. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type. The NS Series 1×3/1×4 switch is cascaded with several NS 1×4.
