1x1,1x2,
Solid-State Fiberoptic Switch
(Protected by U.S. patents 7224860,6757101,6577430 and pending patents)
Product Description
The CL Series 1x1 and 1x2 solid-state 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 1x1,1x2 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 response time.
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.
