AFR's MEMS Optical Switch is based on an electrostatic drived micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of a tilting mirror to change light coupling between input and output fibers.The components are characterized with low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability. The optical swtich has been widely used in fiber optics communication equipment, fiber instruments, and fiber sensing to switch channels.
The 1064 nm In-Line Polarizer is designed to pass light with one specific polarization while blocking the other polarization. It can be used to convert unpolarized light into polarized light with high extinction ratio. It can also be used to enhance the extinction ratio of signals with its excellent polarization properties. It is ideal for high speed communication systems and test instruments where high polarization extinction ratio is required.
The QSFP Optical Time Domain Reflectometer is a very compact optical time domain reflectometer. It is designed to be compatible with QSFP MSA on mechanical and electrical interface, which allows it to be plugged into QSFP, QSFP-28 and QSFP-DD cages.
The Special Wavelength Coupler offers very low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss and excellent environmental stability. Accurate coupling ratios from 0.01/99.99 to 50/50 are available with very good uniformity in the operating wavelength range. These components find extensive applications to perform power splitting and monitoring functions in all kinds of optical communication systems.
