What is a mechanical optical switch?

Opto-mechanical optical switches (single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic switches) are passive components that selectively transmit an optical signal from a given input port to a given output port in a fiber optic transmission line.

Mechanical Optical Switch | Moving Lens Optical Switch

The optical fiber is fixed at the input and output ports, and the connection between the input and output optical paths is realized by the precise collimation of the microlens. After the lens becomes parallel light, if the lens is moved, the second lens will focus the parallel light of the lens to the corresponding output fiber

Mechanical Optical Switch | Moving Self-Focus Lens Type Optical Switch

Self-focusing lens especially for fiber-to-fiber far-field coupling in various optical devices

Mechanical Optical Switch | Mobile Sleeve Optical Switch

The mobile sleeve type optical switch means that the input or output optical fibers are respectively fixed in two sleeves, one sleeve is fixed on its base, and the other sleeve is positioned at two or more positions with high precision. , with the optical fiber moving relative to the fixed sleeve, so as to realize the conversion of the optical path.

Mechanical Optical Switch | Mobile Optical Optical Switch

The mobile fiber optical switch has the advantages of simple structure, good repeatability and low insertion loss. In the input or output port of a mobile fiber, one segment of the fiber is fixed, while the other end of the fiber is active. By moving the active fiber to couple with different ports in the fixed fiber, the optical path switching is realized.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

Mechanical Optical Switches , Opto-Mechanical Optical Switches redirect optical signals by mechanically moving an optical fiber or bulk optical element. It performs various operations, allowing a signal to switch from one state to another. This type of fiber optic switch is usually driven by a stepper motor.
