High Power 1×2 Dual-Stage Optical Switch: 10W, 100ns, 35dB On/Off

NHSW The NS Series dual-stage 1×2 solid-state fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output optical fiber. This is achieved using our patent-pending non-mechanical configurations with solid-state all-crystal designs, eliminating the need for mechanical movement and organic materials. The dual-stage series of NS fiber-optic switches is designed to meet the demand for high cross-talk in addition to ultra-high reliability, fast response time, and continuous switching operation. The device is bidirectional. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintained by the fiber type. 5V TTL signals control our NS Series switch with a specially designed electronic driver optimized for various repetition rates.
