1x3 1x4 Latching Single Mode MEMS Optical Switch

The etMEMS Series 1x3,1x4 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.
