BS Benchtop Optical Switch Solutions

Non-latching; 1x2, 2x2, 1x4, 1x8; Fiber Type SM, MM; 1240 to 1650 nm; Insertion Loss 1.0 to 2.0 dB; Crosstalk 50 dB; Switching Time 1 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s BS series are all optical switch solutions for demanding applications in fiber optic instrumentation or communication. The benchtop instrument can switch up to two input fibers to any of up to eight output fibers, independently of data format, wavelength or optical power. The BS series optical switches are available either for single mode (SM) or multi mode (MM) fibers. The optical connections are set by a MEMS based switch network, where micromachined silicon mirrors redirect light to the selected ports. The use of MEMS technology offers solid state reliability together with long term stability and robustness for stable operation. The switch is controlled over an USB connection which also acts as power supply. BS series switches are built using Sercalo Microtechnology’s Telcordia-qualified MEMS technology, which achieves superior reliability and repeatability when compared to traditional mechanical solutions. The switches are fully bi-directional and transparent to the full wavelength range of the installed fiber. When several input fibers are required, the switch architecture can be either blocking or non-blocking. In the blocking architecture when one input is set, the other inputs can only be set to a limited number of “free” ports. In the non-blocking architecture there is no such limitation. Any of the input ports can go to any of the free output ports. But the complexity of the non-blocking architecture is much higher.

Co-Axial 1xN/2xN/NxM Fiber Optic MEMS Switches

Non-latching; 1xN, 2xN, NxM; Fiber Type SM, PM; 1250 to 1670 nm; Insertion Loss 0.4 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 5 to 10 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s co-axial fiber optic MEMS switches are available in 1xN, 2xN and NxM configurations. Their compact design offers a very low size and lower cost than standard switches. Nevertheless, it has slower speed and larger wavelength dependent loss than the SW or SL types. These co-axial switches are non-latching: at power-off they break the optical connection, and routing of ports is not defined. They are based on a strictly non-blocking bidirectional architecture, i.e. the common port can be used as input or output of the light signal. The underlying MEMS technology results in low insertion loss and low crosstalk between channels while keeping a constant switching performance over life. The hermetically sealed MEMS and the laser welded fiber collimators guarantee broad temperature range and superior long-term stability. No epoxy is present in the optical path. The series of co-axial fiber optic MEMS switches is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU. Sercalo Microtechnology’s SC type co-axial 1xN and 2xN fiber optic switches are based on a design where a single MEMS mirror redirects light from a common fiber to one of N ports. The miniature packages withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. These switches are available in four different variants to simplify integration in existing systems and reduce development cost: standard size – ribbon fibers (SC); miniature size – small driver board: 7 x 40 mm (mSC); compatible with industry pinout, 900 um sleeved fibers and connectors (rSC); bare optical component (bSC). Sercalo Microtechnology’s SCBU type co-axial NxM fiber optic switches are based on a design where a matrix of MEMS mirrors redirects light from N inputs to M outputs. The optical networks can be based on a strictly nonblocking matrix (from 4x4 up to 16x16 ports) or on a tree structure (up to 2x540 ports).

EPS II End Face Preparation Station

Fiber Type Large Diameter (LD); Fiber Cladding 400-2,000 µm; Non-angle or Angle Polishing <0.30-15° Typ.; Cycle Time 1-3 min; Scrap Fiber Waste <2 mm Typ. Large diameter (LD) optical fibers are increasingly important in the development of new optical technologies. Cleaving these fibers presents many challenges, more so as the fiber diameter increases. Low angle offsets and smooth, flat end faces are required. Many fibers are non-round or have internal structures that interfere with conventional cleaving. With some fibers priced in hundreds of euros per meter, the length of cutoff scrap must be minimized. 3SAE Technologies’ EPS II End Face Preparation Station meets these challenges with a novel, polishing-based design that now features both flat and angle polishing. The results are consistent, even for shaped fibers. The end faces are flat and highly polished. EPS II is not an adapted connector polisher – it is a purpose-built large diameter (LD) optical fiber preparation unit optimized for splicing and other large diameter fiber termination applications. Choose from a selection of standard programs, or create and store a custom program for a specific fiber. Selectable programs ensure repeatable performance and the bright, clear LCD screen guides the user with the correct action for each step. No special skill or “touch” is required –the EPS II’s precision fixturing holds the fibers precisely, and the automated system lowers the fibers smoothly onto the adjustable-speed polishing plate. A filtered-air final cleaning/drying system is used to dry the fiber after cleaning in the included 3SAE Technologies Ultrasonic Cleaner, a purpose-built ultrasonic fiber cleaner that was designed specifically for fiber applications. Many years of splicing experience went into the functional, ergonomic design that ensures consistent cleaning results. When the preparation process is complete, the fiber end faces are flat, low-angle and ready for splicing. Less than 2 mm of scrap length means less wasted expensive fiber and allows more accurate placement of splices and components. Key Features: Angled Polishing Capabilities High First-pass Yield Lowest Available Cleave Angles: <0.30° Typical Scrap Fiber Waste: <2 mm Typical Fiber Cladding: 400 to 2,000 µm Angle Cleaving: Up to 15° of Rotation (From Vertical) Cycle Time: 1 to 3 min Per Fiber Typical Easy Handling, No Additional Fiber Handling System Required Operator Independent No PC Required Power Supply: 24 VDC External Dimensions: 299.7 x 292 x 223.5 mm Compressed Air: Max 95 psi, 0.6 SCMF Applications: Splicing of Large Diameter (LD) Fibers up to 2,000 µm Fiber Cladding; Other Large Diameter (LD) Fiber Termination Applications
