1x1 1x2 2x2 Latching Single Mode Optical Switch

The etMEMSTM Series 1x2 Fiberoptic switch connects optical channels by redirecting incoming optical signals into selected output fibers. This is achieved using a proprietary etMEMSTM configuration and activated via an electrical control signal. It uniquely features rugged thermal activated micro-mirror movement instead of rotation, and latches to preserve the selected optical path after the drive signal and the power have been removed. This novel design significantly simplify the control electronics, offering unprecedented high stability and an unmatched low cost.
