LightBend Full 2x2 PM Optical Switch

The LB series PM 2x2 fiber optic switch has a polarization-maintaining fiber switch, which connects optical channels by directing or blocking an incoming optical signal into the output fiber. This is achieved using a patent pending opto-machnical configuration and achieved via an electrical control signal. A latching version preserves the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed, while the non-latching version defaults to either the open or close state when power is removed. The switches integrated electrical position sensors.
