Many applications in optical measurement systems or data communication networks require distribution and modulation of light, guided in optical fibers.
piezosystem jena, well known as a supplier of a wide range of one and more dimensional piezoelectric translation systems for highest positioning accuracy, now presents a new optical multimode optical fiber switch.
The new product, the 2 by 9 multimode fiber switch was developed mainly for applications in spectroscopy and measurement techniques. The switch is ideally suited to combine up to 9 measurement points with only one spectrometer.
Therefore, the end-user derives a cost benefit, and is able to directly compare different optical channels using only one measurement device.
The system works with multimode fibers with a core diameter up to 440µm.
Other fiber parameters can be offered on special request. The optical fiber switch works with piezoelectric elements providing short switching times down to 2ms.
The typical insertion losses are < 1.4dB. All switches of piezosystem jena work without any optical components. Hence there is no dependency on any wavelength.
All switches can be used from UV up to the IR region. Standard switch configuration comes with one meter fiber length on input and output connectors. Bulkhead connectors are also available.
The switch is controlled by parallel port interface.
A controlling software comes with the switch.
The system is very compact in a 19inch industrial casing.
