Optical Switches
LIDAR Optical Switch – Fiber-Fiber™
The FF Series fiber optic switch connects optical channels using a MEMS fiber to fiber direct coupling platform and is activated via an electrical relay. Our advanced design offers unprecedentedly low optical loss, little wavelength dependence with no coatings, high power handling, high reliability/longevity, a high polarization extinction ratio, as well as unmatched low cost. Since there are no optical coated interfaces, no reflections, and no etalon effects from these switches. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the driver signal has been removed. The switch has integrated electrical position sensors. The switch is bidirectional and conveniently controllable by 5V TTL. Using no lens, the FF Series switch can accommodate all types of fibers, including SM, MM, PM, double cladding, bendable, large core, small core.
