Optical Switches
High Speed 1×2 Fiber Optical Single Stage Switch: 100ns, 18dB On/Off
The NanoSpeed™ Series fiber optic phase switches deliver high precision, ultra-low loss, fast response, and high optical power handling. These performance levels are achieved through a patented all-crystal design that switches between two optical paths regardless of polarization, without any mechanical movement or organic materials, ensuring exceptional reliability and continuous operation. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and can be configured for either polarization-independent or polarization-maintaining operation depending on the fiber type. Each NS Series switch is driven by 5V TTL control signals through a matched electronic driver optimized for specific repetition rates. The rise/fall time and operating frequency range depend on both the crystal properties and the driver design.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect High Speed 1×2 Fiber Optical Single Stage Switch: 100ns, 18dB On/Off 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, PM1550, PM980, MM50/125 · 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, 1310nm, 1410nm, 1550nm, 1750nm, 980nm
- 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.
