The 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 configuration s 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 1x2 fiber optic 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.

1x2 solid-state fiber optical switch 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.
