Magnet Optical Switch
The SIMTRUM Magnet Optical Switch series operates on the Magneto-Optic Effect, enabling microsecond-level ultra-high-speed optical path switching. As an all-solid-state design with no moving parts, it completely eliminates mechanical wear, achieving exceptional reliability and an ultra-long operational lifetime (up to 10 billion cycles). This series utilizes pulse voltage drive instead of continuous power, offering advantages of low energy consumption and minimal heat generation. Its Fail-safe Latching feature ensures the optical path state is maintained after power loss, making it particularly suitable for cutting-edge applications with extreme demands on switching speed, endurance, and stability.

OE-MaOS-2x2

E-MaOS-1x4

Features

  • Ultra-Fast Switching: Switching time ≤ 100 µs, meeting real-time reconfiguration needs in high-speed optical networks.
  • Exceptional Reliability: All-solid-state, no moving parts, lifetime ≥ 10 billion cycles.
  • Excellent Optical Performance: Low insertion loss (≤ 1.2 dB), low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL ≤ 0.2 dB), and high isolation (≥ 40 dB).
  • Wide Operating Temperature Range: -5°C to +70°C, suitable for harsh environments.
  • Compact Package: Available in compact packages like Mx2, Mx4, saving system space.

 

Applications

  • High-speed optical communication networks, data center optical interconnects, and protection
  • Aerospace avionics systems and radar systems
  • High-precision sensing systems and quantum communication experimental platforms
  • Industrial control fields requiring extremely fast response and ultra-high reliability
