CrystaLatch Series PM Switches

The CL Series fibre optic switches connect optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected output fibre. This is achieved using patented non-mechanical configurations and activated via an electrical control signal. Latching operation preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed. The all solid sate CrystaLatch fibre optic PM switches feature low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, high channel isolation, and extremely high reliability and repeatability. They are designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of continuous operation without failure, longevity, operation under shock/vibration environment and large temperature variations and fast response time. The switches also have built-in circulator and isolator functions. Electronic drivers are available for this series of switches.
