It offers unparalleled advantages, including nearly lossless transmission of about 0. 01 dB with special order), broad wavelength operation from 200 nm to 4000 nm, minimal back-reflection, no distortion to the mode properties for multimode transmission . Controlled by piezoelectric actuators, our fiber switches have no internal optical components and therefore avoid any form of optical aberration. The highly reliable MEMS technology is characterized by a long lifetime, high reliability, and high durability (max 3 x 10 9 cycles), making these suitable for use as OEM components. The simplest device is an on/off switch with one input and one output, which allows. The Fiber-Fiber™ Series of optical switches directs light propagation continuously without interruptions or distortions. Nevertheless, it has slower speed and larger wavelength dependent loss than the SW or SL types.
