The MEMS Latch Series 1x4 Fiber optic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is achieved using a patent pending MEMS configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. It uniquely features rugged thermal activated micro-mirror movements instead of rotation, and latches to preserve the selected optical path after the drive signal has been removed.This novel design significantly reduces packaging requirement, and simplifies driving electronics, offering unprecedented high stability as well as an unmatched low cost. 1x4 MEMS optical switch Features •High Reliability •Latching •Intrinsic tolerance to ESD 1x4 MEMS optical switch Applications • Channel Blocking • System Monitoring • Instrumentation ◇1x4 MEMS optical switch Performance Parameters MSW-1×4 Wavelength Range nm 1260~1620 Testing Wavelength nm 1310/1490/1550/1625/1650 Insertion Loss dB Typ:0.7 ,Max:1.2 Return Loss dB ≥50 Crosstalk dB ≥50 PDL dB ≤0.10 WDL dB ≤0.25 TDL dB ≤0.20 Repeatability dB ≤±0.05 Repeatability Rate Hz 20 Lifetime Cycle ≥109 Switch Time ms ≤5 Transmission Power mW ≤500 Operation Temperature ℃ -5~+70 Storage Temperature ℃ -40~+85 Switching type Latching Dimension mm (L)26×(W)22×(H)9.4(±0.2)
