1x2 Non-Latching Polarisation Maintaining MEMS Optical Switch

The MEMS Series 1x2 PM 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. This novel design significantly reduces packaging requirement and simplifies driving electronics, offering unprecedented high stability as Features well as an unmatched low cost.
