The CL Series bi-directional 1x4 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. These switches are true bidirectional allowing light
propagating in both directions simultaneously, a critical feature for
sensing applications. Agiltron non-
m e c ha nical CL fiberoptic switch

response time, high extinction ratio,
and extremely high reliability and
repeatability. It is designed to meet the
most demanding switching requirements
of continuous operation without wear-
out, longevity without fail, and live

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.
