NOVEMBER 13, 2006 -- Laser Components IG has unveiled a new series of fiber-optic switches for multimode fibers with core diameters of up to 600 µ m.
The switches of the new product families, "mol 1xN" and "mol 2xN," combine extremely short switching times (only 2 msec) with the high reliability and a signal loss of less than 0.5 dB, say company representatives, who guarantee a life expectancy of 108 switching cycles.
Laser Components' new switches are applicable to all fields using optical singlemode or multimode fibers, including telecommunications, sensor technology, optical spectroscopy, and biomedical technology. All switches are available in various configurations and come with or without a connector in either compact housing, table housing, or 19" insertions.
The special micro-optical concept behind the fiber-optic switch is flexible and allows for the customized integration of additional optical functionality such as filtering and monitoring, says the company.
