Fiber optic switches use MEMS technology
Laser Components has added MM switches to its product range of optical switches. These are available for fibers with a core diameter of 50 µm, 62.5 µm, 100 µm and 200 µm. All switches are available in 1 x 2, 1 x 4, and 2 x 2 designs. SM and PM switches are also available in 1 x 8 and 1 x 12 versions. In addition to the telecommunications industry, fiber optic switches are being used increasingly in optical metrology and sensor technology. Laser Components optical switches are based on a micro-mechanical/micro-optical design. This design guarantees high flexibility for many applications, long-term stability and excellent optical properties. The response times of the switches are 2 ms or less, and a lifetime of greater than 10 8 switching cycles is guaranteed. The switch is offered as a standard SM for 1260 nm to 1650 nm, as a short wavelength for 400 nm to 690 nm or 700 nm to 1100 nm and as a PM version for polarization-maintaining fibers. Insertion loss typically ranges from 0.7 dB to 1.0 dB, depending on the version.

Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Applications A mobile fiber optic splice lab being used to access and splice underground cables. Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, Internet communication, and cable television signals. Due to much lower attenuation and interference , optical fiber has large advantages over existing copper wire in long-distance and high-demand applications. However, infrastructure development within cities was relatively difficult and time-consuming, and fiber-optic systems were complex and expensive to install and operate. Due to these difficulties, fiber-optic communication systems have primarily been installed in long-distance applications, where they can be used to their full transmission capacity, offsetting the increased cost. Since the year 2000, the prices for fiber-optic communications have dropped considerably. The price for rolling out fiber to the home has currently become more cost-effective than that of rolling out a copper based network. Prices have dropped to $850 per subscriber in the US and lower in countries like The Netherlands, where digging costs are low. Since 1990, when optical-amplification systems became commercially available, the telecommunications industry has laid a vast network of intercity and transoceanic fiber communication lines. By 2002, an intercontinental network of 250,000 km of submarine communications cable with a capacity of 2.56 Tb /s was completed, and although specific network capacities are privileged information, telecommunications investment reports indicate that network capacity has increased dramatically since 2002.
