SW Series Fiber Optic MEMS Switches

High Power; Insertion Loss <0.5 dB; Power Handling ≤50 W; Shutter Response Speed <5 ms; Shutter Electrical Interface 5 V TTL In response to increasing demand for high power handling fiber optic components, OZ Optics has developed the HPCR / AA-250 / SH-200 series of fiber optic shutters and connectors that incorporate smart sensors for safety interlocks. These shutter systems can be incorporated in high power handling components, including freespace-to-fiber and fiber-to-fiber coupling situations. For extreme power handing capabilities, the shutters can also incorporate additional beam dumps and/or heat sinks to safely absorb the blocked laser power. The key components that allow realization of smart shutters and safety interlocks are a series of proximity sensors and temperature sensors installed at suitable locations in the body of fiber optic assemblies. These provide the necessary electrical signals to alert the end user to take appropriate action. Key Features: Multiple Watt CW Power Handling Shutter Speeds of <5 ms Controlled via 5 V TTL Signal Available with Temperature and Connector Proximity Sensors for Safety Interlocks Compatible with SMA 905 and FC Connectors Available in Laser-to-fiber and Fiber-to-fiber Versions Fiber Connectors and Receptacles with Safety Sensor/interlocks Available Applications: All Situations Involving Laser Beams, Including High Power Laser Beams Coupled into SM or MM Fibers; Laser Facilities Requiring Compliance to Laser Safety Standards; High Power Industrial and Medical Laser Applications - Laser Marking, Cutting, Welding, Laser Scalpel, Eye Surgery, Tattoo Removal; High Power Laser Physics; High Power Spectroscopy; OEM Laser Systems

840-1650 nm; Delay Range 0-1,120 ps; RL 50 dB; Fiber Type SMF-28, HI1060, HI780, PM Panda, PM 980 Panda; IL 1.0, 1.5 dB; PDL 0.1, 0.2 dB General Photonics’ MDL-002 family of motorized variable fiber optic optical delay lines allow optical path length adjustment of up to 560 ps in a single pass. Driven by a DC motor with an integrated encoder, the MDL-002 has a delay resolution of less than 0.3µm (1 fs). In addition, its advanced motion design guarantees longevity for long-term continuous operation. Low insertion loss and high reliability make this device ideal for integration in optical coherence tomography (OCT) systems, network equipment and test instruments for precision optical path length control or timing alignment. Three configurations of the MDL-002 fiber optic delay line series are available: Integrated unit for use as a bench-top instrument for laboratory applications Two-piece unit with the optical head and control unit separated for installation into customer equipment OEM version with a miniature controller board All three versions can be remote controlled by a PC or a micro-processor through an RS-232 interface. The delay line is available with either single mode (SM) or polarization maintaining (PM) fiber pigtails.
