Optical Switches

We produce optic switches for all application scenarios in volume, leading the market in performance and cost. Perfected over 20 years, we offer the fastest, the smallest, the most reliable, and the lowest loss, switches in the industry. Our switches have some state-of-the-art attributes: nearly lossless, 300-2000nm ultra-broadband, single-mode core as small as 3 μm and multimode core as large as 1mm, 10ns fast switching, 20W high power handling, larger than 75dB isolation, over 26dB polarization extinction, vibration insensitive, vacuum compatible. Many of them have passed space/aerospace qualification by customers. Moreover, we provide custom solutions with in-house micro-assembly and MEMS wafer fabrication. The table below guides optic switch selection according to the main application requirement. All switches can be delivered in PM fibers and high-power versions with cost-effective driving electronics and user-friendly GUI control software, as well as in a turn-key net-ready box. Photonwares also design/produce integrated modules/systems with customized functions.
