Optical Switch is a switch that enables signals in optical fibers or integrated optical circuits to be selectively switched from one circuit to another. Optical Switch is mainly used in Optical Add /Drop, Optical Cross Connection System, and Optical fiber ring protection.

Optical switch may operate by mechanical means, such as physically shifting an optical fiber to drive one or more alternative fibers, or by electro-optic effects, magneto-optic effects, or other methods. Commercially available optical switches, either in MEMS or in mechanical, types have a standard switching speed of 5 ms or 10 ms.

LFO 1x2 Optical Switches are base on Opto-Mechanical Technology with Proven reliability. Our 1x2 Optical switch are designed for use in re-configurable optical add/drop multiplexers optical cross-connect systems and network switching for fault protection and restoration application, The patented Optical mechanical switch with latching, Non-latching can be directly fixed on printed circuit board (PCB) featuring low insertion loss and seam-seal packag. Our Optical Switch is optimized for a wide range of fiber-optical applications. It could be easy to integrate into a high density optical communication system as its smart encapsulation. ...Specification
