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 Type

There are three main types of mechanical optical switches: one is to use prism switching technology, the other is to use mirror switching technology, and the third is to switch optical paths by moving optical fibers.

Mechanical Optical Switch | Moving Prism Optical Switch

The input and output fibers are connected with collimating optical elements such as self-focusing lens, plano-convex rod lens, ball lens, etc., and are fixed, and the optical path of the input and output ports is changed by moving the prism.

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

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.
