NanoSpeed Optical Switch (Electric)
Overview Specifications Order now！

The SIMTRUM NanoSpeed Optical Switch (Electric) series (e.g., N1x2, N2x2) represents our cutting-edge high-speed optical switching technology.

Utilizing special electro-optic materials and designs, this series changes waveguide properties within nanoseconds by applying a control voltage, enabling instantaneous optical path switching. As a non-mechanical high-speed switching solution, it perfectly bridges the gap between the speed of mechanical switches and the cost of all-optical switches, providing an ideal choice for applications requiring high-frequency and rapid signal routing. The product features two driving voltage levels, V0 (≤90V) and V1 (≤230V), corresponding to different switching states, offering a simple interface for easy integration.

 

Features

  • High-Speed Switching: Leverages typical electro-optic effect speeds, far exceeding mechanical switches, suitable for high-frequency operations.
  • High Repeatability & Stability: No mechanical movement ensures consistent state switching and excellent long-term stability.
  • Compact Design & Easy Integration: Modular and small form factor (e.g., N2x2 core dimensions ~8.0mm), facilitating embedding into systems.
  • Clear Logic Control: Simple two-pin voltage drive logic (e.g., Pin1: V0/V1, Pin2: GND) for unambiguous two-state control.
  • Good Optical Performance: Optimized for design wavelengths (e.g., 1310nm/1550nm), providing low-loss optical connections.

Applications

  • High-speed optical packet switching and optical buffer systems
  • Fast optical gating in precision optical measurement and instrumentation
  • Beam control in Lidar systems
  • Experimental setups in scientific research with special requirements for optical path switching speed
