NanoSpeed
30dB Extinction
(SMF, PMF, High Power)
(Protected by U.S. patent 7,403,677B1 and pending patents)

Product Description

The NanoSpeed TM F series fiber optic on-off switches are fast shutter device
uniquely featuring very low optical loss, fast response, and high optical
power handling. The high extinction of 50dB is achieved using a patent
pending feedback electro-optical bias control technology, that maintains
the optimum performance against drift and environment variations. The NS
fiber-optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching
requirements of ultra-high reliability for undersea, space, continuous
switching operation, and longevity over 25 years. The switch is bidirectional.
It is well suited to replace acoustic modulator with advantages of low loss,
low power consumption, and low cost.
The NS Series switch is controlled by 5V TTL signals with a specially
designed electronic driver having performance optimized for various
repetition rate. A wall pluggable DC power supply is accompanied with
each devices.
