MEMS VISIBLE 1XN OPTICAL SWITCH
DiCon’s MEMS Visible 1xN optical switch allows for the automated
connection between one input fiber to anyone of N output fibers.
The switch is bidirectional and can also be used in the reverse
direction as a Nx1 selector switch. Based on DiCon’s industry
proven MEMS technology, DiCon uses proprietary techniques to
optimize the performance in the visible wavelength region.
