1x3 1x4 Latching Multi-Mode Multi-Mode MEMS Optical Switch

The etMEMS Series 1x3,1x4 MM Fibre optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibres. This is achieved using a patent pending etMEMS configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. It uniquely features rugged thermal activated micro-mirror movements instead of rotation, and latches to preserve the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed.
