Bypassable Optical Circulator
(Protected by U.S. patents 7224860,6757101,6577430 and pending patents)
Product Description
The CL Series bypassable Optical circulator works in either circulator
mode or bypass mode. In the circulator mode, it works as a regular 3
port circulator, light entering port 1 passes out through port 2, and light
entering port 2 passes out through port 3. In the bypass mode, light
entering port 1 will output through port 3 bypassing port 2. Switching
between these two working modes is activated via an electrical control
signal. This is achieved using patent pending non-mechanical
configurations, which also features Latching operation that preserves
the selected working mode after the drive signal is removed. The all
solid sate bypassable circulator features low insertion loss, high channel
isolation, fast switching speed and extremely high reliability and
repeatability.
