1x16 Non-Latching Single Mode MEMS Optical Switch

The etMEMS Series 1x16 Non-Latching Fibre optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibres. This is achieved using a patent pending MEMS configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. It uniquely features rugged thermal activated micro-mirror movement instead of rotation, and latched to preserve the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed.
