5. Optical switcher
5.1
Overview
The
FSW4
and
FSW8
are optional extra components that integrate
with the
FZW
that provide 4- or 8-channels of optical multiplexing,
allowing a single wavemeter to be used for monitoring or feedback
of up to 8 lasers (Figure 5.1). The optical switcher is only available
with
FC/APC
-connectorisation.
Figure 5.1:
FSW4
(left) and
FSW8
(right) optical switchers.
The front-
panels (top) have the fiber inputs and
LED
indicators, while the back-panels
(bottom) have the
SMA
outputs for monitoring and
PID
control.
Pressing
the front-panel buttons cycles between the input fibers.
The switcher can be controller through software commands or with
the physical push-buttons, permitting both standalone and automa-
ted operation.
LEDs
on the front indicate the active channel,
and
separate
SMA
outputs on the back provide individually-configurable
PID
outputs for each channel (
The switcher has connectors to receive a number of
FC/APC
input
fibers, and a single
FC/APC
output fiber for connection to the
FZW
.
It has indents on the top for the feet of the
FZW
, so the two can be
carried together as a single unit.
Care should be taken to ensure
