CrystaLatch™ 1x3/1x4 LiDAR Fiber Optic Switch

SKU: CLLD

The CLLD Series fiber optic switch is a non-mechanical, all-solid-state device optimized for LIDAR applications, offering high power handling (5W CW and 100 µJ pulse) and scanning a probing laser among four output fiber ports while redirecting reflected light into a dedicated receiving fiber port. Its patent-pending design minimizes system optical loss by reducing the need for additional circulators or couplers, achieving over 60dB isolation for the receiving signal from the probe beam. With low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, excellent channel isolation, and exceptional reliability, the CLLD switch performs under extreme conditions, including shock, vibration, temperature fluctuations, and continuous operation. Suitable for aerospace, deep-sea, outer-space, and outdoor applications, it features magneto-optical crystals resistant to fatigue or drift, ensuring consistent performance. The design has passed aerospace and out-space application qualifications. An optional electronic driver is available for enhanced control.
