Optical Switches

Ultra-Fast 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 Fiber Optical Switch: 10ns, 16dB On/Off, 1MHz

The NS Ultra-Fast Series (NF) fiber optical switch is based on our patented electro-optical configuration, featuring low optical loss, wide temperature operation, and polarization insensitivity. Our NS fiber optical switch has ultra-high reliability and can continuously operate for over 25 years in a vibration environment (passed Telcordia and space qualifications). The switch is bidirectional and available with configurations of polarization-independent or polarization-maintain. The rise/fall time is intrinsically related to the crystal properties, and the repetition rate is associated with the driver. The NF Series switch is mounted on an electronic driver having a 5V TTL control signal SMA input and a DC power supplier. There are poor frequency response sections in which the on/off ratio does not meet the spec due to the device’s mechanical resonances.

Application context

Why this design is used

Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.

Optical signal routing

Ultra-Fast 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 Fiber Optical Switch: 10ns, 16dB On/Off, 1MHz: Optical signal routing depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1060nm, 2000nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, 1750nm, 780nm, 850nm, 650nm, 550nm, 450nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, SM600, SM800, PM850, PM780, PM630, PM980, MM50/125, SM400, SM450, Hi980, SM1950, PM405, PM460, PM1950) must match the connected components.

Automated fiber test

Ultra-Fast 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 Fiber Optical Switch: 10ns, 16dB On/Off, 1MHz: Automated fiber test depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path.

Integration and compatibility

Use these checks to connect Ultra-Fast 1×1, 1×2, 2×2 Fiber Optical Switch: 10ns, 16dB On/Off, 1MHz to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.

Optical interface and fiber: Fiber Type: SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, SM600, SM800, PM850, PM780, PM630, PM980, MM50/125, SM400, SM450, Hi980, SM1950, PM405, PM460, PM1950 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um tube; Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength and loss budget: Wavelength: 1060nm, 2000nm, 1310nm, 1480nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, 1750nm, 780nm, 850nm, 650nm, 550nm, 450nm; Check the Optical Switches passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
