MEMS 1xN Single Mode Optical Switch
Cylindrical (1×17 to 1×32)
This MEMS 1xN single mode optical switch, based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology, comes in small cylindrical package and port configurations ranging from 1×17 to 1×32. The MEMS optical switch is an optical path control device that provides optical signal connections between a single input fiber and up to N output fibers. The MEMS 1xN optical switch features a single MEMS mirror that can rotate to control the path of optical signal, allowing the MEMS optical switch to transmit, redirect and block optical signals with desired path.
This MEMS 1xN single mode optical switch can be widely employed in a variety of applications, such as optical fiber communication and fiber sensing, because of its small size, low power consumption, and exceptional durability.
