SKU: NSAS
The NS fiber optical switch array cascades multiple 1×2 or 2×2 switches to redirect an incoming optical signal among N output optical fibers rapidly controlled. We mount multiple switches on a PCB controlled by a TTL input signal via a single SMC connector. This array is designed as a compact OEM module. The all-solid-state crystal design provides exceptionally high reliability. The switch has passed Telcordia reliability qualification tests and is used in space applications. It is designed to meet the most demanding ultra-high reliability requirements, fast response time, and continuous operation. The unit comes with a wall plug-in power supply. Available with several electronic drivers having performance optimized for various repetition rates. No GUI is available due to high speed. The switch is intrinsically bidirectional and selectable for polarization-independent or polarization-maintain by the fiber type.
The rise/fall time is intrinsically related to the crystal properties, and the repetition rate is associated with the driver. There are poor frequency response sections due to the device resonances. The NS devices are shipped mounted on a tuned driver.
The NS series switches respond to a control signal with any arbitrary timing with frequency from DC up to MHz. The switch is usually mounted on a tuned driver before shipping. The electrical power consumption is related to the repetition rate at which the switch is operated.
The dual-stage configuration increases the extinction ratio or cross-talk value.
