1x1,1x2 3-Stage
Solid-State Fiberoptic Switch
(Protected by U.S. patents 7224860,6757101,6577430 and pending patents)
Product Description
The CL Series 1x1, 1x2 3-Stage solid-state fiber optical switch connects
optical channels by redirecting an incoming optical signal into a selected
output fiber. 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 CL 1x1,1x2 fiberoptic switch features low
insertion loss, high extinction ratio, high channel isolation, and extremely
high reliability and repeatability. It is 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 switch also has build-in circulator
and isolator functions. Electronic
driver is available for this series of
switches.

Electrical Driving Information
The switch is actuated by applying a voltage pulse. Applying one polarity pulse, one light path
will be connected and latched to the position. Applying a reversed polarity pulse, another light
path will be connected and latched to the position after pulse removed.
