Large Core UV-IR High Power Fiber Optical Switch

The LFSH Series Fiber Optical Large Core Switch uniquely features high power handling up to 10W for large core fiber up to 1mm in diameter. It directly couples a pair of fibers and is activated via an electrical relay. The advanced design offers unmatched performances of ultra-broadband covering from 300 to 2400nm limited only by fiber intrinsic transmission, low optical loss, little wavelength dependence without coatings, high power handling, as well as low cost. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 5V TTL. The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive pulse has been removed, reducing power consumption. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors for verification. The switch is designed to be mounted onto a heat sink to dissipate the unwanted light.
