Advice on electronic module for optical switch

Oct 06, 2007 1 Replies

Greetings,



I'm new to all this, so hope you don't mind...



I'm looking for a (small) electronic component that can do an optical switch (mirror?) from 2 input fibers to 1 output fiber. So the following functionality:



-2 (glass fiber) inputs (preferable ST connectors)



-1 (glass fiber) output (preferable ST connector)



-all in visible light range (380nm-780nm)



-By using an electronic signal 1 of the 2 inputs must be directed to the output. So I can choose which input is switched to the output.



-Switching time is not important.



Any links/websites/names are welcome!



Thanks, Bjorn bhotting at planet dot nl


For telecom type fibres like SM and GIMM 50/125 and 62.5/125 switches are available. Are you using these GIMM fibre for visible light? Or are you using another type of fibre?

is a typical example. Google for optical switch with the fibre type. Arnie
