1550nm 1X1 Polarization Maintaining Nano-Second Fiber Optic Switch
Product Description:
Advanced fiber optic solutions manufactures a wide selection of non-mechanical fiber optic switches with response time from millisecond to sub-nano second. These cutting edge products feature very fast response of less than 1ns optical response time, small packaging, low insertion loss and high stability and unparallel reliability. The switching is activated via simple electrical control pulse signals.
With years of experience in micro-optical design, fabrication, packaging and volume production, Advanced fiber optic solutions brings these unique and excellent products to market in a very cost effective way. For those applications requiring a custom solution, our veteran engineers are ready to meet your challenges and needs with customized offerings.
