Optical Switches

MxN No-Gap Fiber Optic Switch System – Fiber-Fiber™

The Fiber-Fiber Series of optical fiber switch is based on a patent-pending self-groove alignment mechanism without needing AR coating and lenses. It offers unparalleled advantages of very low loss of about 1dB for any array size, low cost, amicable to any fiber core size, and broad wavelength operation from 300nm~2300nm. The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after removing the drive signal. Multimode fiber core size is from 50 to 1000 μm. The switch is bidirectional and can accommodate up to 300 fiber ports. The Fiber-Fiber multimode switches are designed with very short paths between fibers, so signals propagate in practically the same distribution as through uninterrupted multimode fiber, uniquely achieving high modal fidelity. It is available in single and dual channels. The dual channel acts at the same time, design for testing applications.
