The CL Series 1x3,1x4 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. The all
solid sate CL 1x3,1x4 fiberoptic switch features low insertion loss, high
extinction ratio, high channel isolation, and extremely high reliability
and repeatability. It is designed to meet
the most demanding switching
requirements of continuous operation
without failure, longevity, operation
under shock/vibration environment and
large temperature variations, and fast
respo nse tim e.
.
The switch also has build-in circulator
and isolator functions. 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.
