Ultra-Broadband/Low-Loss 1×8 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch

SKU: FFSW

The FF Series fiber optic switch connects optical channels via a micro-mechanical fiber to a fiber auto-alignment platform and is activated via an electrical relay. The advanced design significantly increases performance, offering unprecedented low optical loss, broad wavelength operation with no coatings, high power handling, as well as an unmatched low cost. The latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the driver signal has been removed. 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.
The lightpath in the device is bidirectional.
This switch uses a specially formulated index-matching liquid that does not generate fluorescence. The liquid fills a gap of less than 5 µm.
Switches with PM fibers transmit both polarizations the same way as the fiber.
