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 2 μm Fused Wavelength Division Multiplexer combines or separates light at 1570 nm (800 nm) and 2000 nm windows. They offer very low insertion loss and excellent environmental stability.
The Isolator Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter is a compact device that provides both polarization beam combining and optical isolation in one integrated component. The most common application is to combine two pump lasers into one single fiber to double the pump power in EDFA or Raman Amplifier. The Beam Combiner/Splitter has extremely low insertion loss, and it can improve the amplifier performance.
The 2 μm Filter Wavelength Division Multiplexer series is based on environmentally stable thin-film filter technology. The devices combine or separate light at different wavelengths in a wide wavelength range. They offer very low insertion loss, low polarization dependence, high isolation and excellent environmental stability. High power handling capability can be achieved through unique pigtail processing and high quality AR coating.
The 1064 nm Polarization Maintaining Optical Circulator is a compact, high performance lightwave component that routes incoming signals from Port 1 to Port 2, and incoming Port 2 signals to Port 3. The PM Optical Circulator provides high isolation, low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, and excellent environmental stability.
