BS Benchtop Optical Switch Solutions

Non-latching; 1x2 to 1x32; Fiber Type SM, MM; 1240 to 1640 nm; Insertion Loss 0.5 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 1 to 20 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s SW series are very fast, opto-mechanical switches based on the MEMS technology. These non-latching MEMS switches available both for single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) fibers in 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x13, 1x16, 1x32 and 2x2 configurations. All SW series 1xN components are designed to establish an optical connection between one optical port and either one of up to 32 input or output lines in a very short time, while the 2x2 variants are designed for optical cross connect switching in single mode (SM) or multi mode (MM) fiber networks. Powered by a 5 VDC supply voltage, the SW series switches allow to control the switching state with a 5 V TTL or CMOS drive signal. The switching mechanism offers the reliability of a solid state device; it neither wears out nor degrades over time. Even after billions of cycles the switching quality stays constant. The SW series’ highly reliable switching mechanism uses integrated micromirrors, features fast switching times down to below 1 ms for some models and shows only 0.5 to 2.5 dB insertion loss. With its MEMS switching structure, the SM series of fiber optic MEMS switches achieves repeatability of 0.001 dB and shows a very flat insertion loss over the full spectrum of the fiber. The miniature package withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. The SM switch series is qualified according to Telcordia GR 1221 and mainly used in test and measurement applications. Key Features: Reliable Insertion Loss (IL): 0.5 to 2.5 dB Response Time: 1 to 20 ms Crosstalk: 60 dB Miniature Size Non-latching Applications: Optical Reconfiguration; Protection Switching; Network Restoration  

1468.0-1640.0 nm; Filter Bandwidth 0.01-9 THz; Connector Type FC/UPC, FC/APC; Wave Manager S/W for external PC With a highly advanced high-resolution, solid-state Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) optical engine, II-VI Incorporated’s WaveShaper® 1000A series of programmable optical filters provides a range of programmable optical filtering and switching options for optical R&D and production test applications. WaveShaper® 1000A systems allow extremely fine control of filter characteristics, including center wavelength, bandwidth, shape, dispersion and attenuation, and support arbitrary user-generated channel and filter shapes. Various models are available which cover the entire range from the S- to the extended L-band. The bandwidth can be set from 10 GHz up to more than 5 THz with 1 GHz increments for the standard C- or L-band version of the 1000A. The X version – which covers C+L band – and the S-band and the extended L-band versions support filter bandwidths from 20 GHz to about 9 THz. The required filter shape (both amplitude and phase) can be generated by the user and then loaded into the WaveManager software, which translates the user specification into the required optical shape. Band-stop and optical comb filters are also supported as is optical power control over a range of more than 35 dB for all filter types. All these filters are equipped with standard single mode (SM) fibers. In addition, a family of WaveShaper® 1000A programmable single polarization filters is available on request – this series comes with polarization maintaining (PM) fibers. Please contact AMS Technologies for more details. Key Features: Based on High-resolution Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) Technology Instrument Versions Available for the 1 µm Band and for the Entire Range Covering the S-, C-, L- and Extended L-band Operating Wavelength: 1468.0 to 1640.0 nm Control of Filter Dispersion Attenuation Control: 35 dB Filter Bandwidth: Variable From 10 GHz to 9 THz, Depending on Model Integrated Webserver Allows Platform-independent Control Applications: Optical Component Testing; Transceiver Testing; DWDM System Testing; Laser Pulse Compression; Optical/Microwave Filtering

Non-latching; 16x16, 24x24, 32x32; Fiber Type SM, MM; 1240 to 1650 nm; Insertion Loss 0.5 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time <100 ms Sercalo Microtechnology's OCX series of NxN fiber optic matrix switches are non-blocking devices that connect any of the input fibers to any of the output fibers. These 16X16 up to 32x32 optical cross connects are using an optical free space technology. Over a RS232 or USB interface the individual ports can be addressed. The optical connections are set by a 3D MEMS switch network, where micromachined silicon mirrors redirect light from the specified input port to the selected output port. The use of MEMS technology offers low cost together with excellent optical performance. The OCX series of fiber optic cross connects is built using Sercalo Microtechnology’s established MEMS technology. The MEMS mirrors are stable enough to operate the switch in open loop. The switch is fully bi-directional and transparent to the full wavelength range of the installed fiber. The switch architecture is non-blocking: Any of the input ports can go to any of the free output ports. This hitless non-blocking switch for demanding applications in fiber optic instrumentation or communication is currently in initial production with port counts up to 32x32. The switch is designed for integration into a network system. Key Features: Non-blocking Fully Bi-Directional Reliable Wavelength Range: 1240 to 1650 nm Low Insertion Loss: 0.5 to 2.5 dB Switching Time: <100 ms Standard Port Counts: 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 Custom Port Count NxM Available on Request Crosstalk: 60 dB Single Mode (SM) or Multi Mode (MM) Fiber UART and USB Interfaces Applications: Optical Network Switching; Fiber Optic Cross Connect; Fiber Optic Test and Measurement; Data Center Optical Switching
