The MEMS 1xN Fiber Optical Switch is based on a reflecting silicon mirror that directs light from an input fiber to the requested output fiber among the N output fibers. The difference in light path length between each state is small. The switch is bidirectional and can be used as an Nx1. It comes mounted on a PCB with control electronics powered by 5VDC. The TTL control interface is standard. USB or RS232 with GUI is achieved through an optional adapting board that comes with a wall-pluggable power supply and a computer interface cable.
This MEMS platform offers the advantages of low cost and compact size. The on/off ratio, channel isolation, optical power handling, and response speed are lower than those of our digital silicon mirror-based switches.
