1550nm 1X8 Bidirectional / Unidirectional Fiber Optic Standard / High Power Switch
Product Description:
Advanced fiber optic solutions manufactures a wide selection of non-mechanical fiber optic switches with an option of bidirectional or unidirectional, standard or high power operation. These cutting edge products feature wide wavelength operation, very fast response of less than 10us optical response time, wide temperature operation range, high power handling, very low insertion loss and polarization dependent loss, high stability and unparallel reliability. The switching is activated via simple electrical control pulse signals. The latching operation keeps the status after the removal of electrical signal.
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.
