OSICS SWT Presentation
Features
The OSICS SWT is a full suite of fiber optic switch and shutter modules based on optical
prism technology.
•
The
1x1
configuration is a shutter. It allows to block/pass an optical signal with high
isolation.
•
The
2x(1x1)
configuration is a 2x shutter. It features two 1x1 configurations.
The first one is called Shutter A-B, the second one Shutter 1-2. They can be operated
simultaneously as well as individually.
•
The
2x2
switch configuration allows to cross (or not) two input and two output
channels.
•
The
1x2
and
1x4
switch configuration features one common input/output channel
(Com), and 2 or 4 output/input channels (Ch1 and Ch2 or Ch1, Ch2, Ch3 and Ch4) to
be used sequentially.
The OSICS SWT module is fully bi-directional: you can use the module as 1 input and 2 or
4 outputs (see
), or 1 output and 2 or 4 inputs (see
depending on the needs of your measurement setup.
•
In a standard configuration, it allows you to direct a laser signal from the common
channel
Com
to any output channel
Ch1
to
Chn
, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 94: SWT Standard Configuration
•
In a reverse configuration, you can direct any signal one after another from
Ch1
to
Chn
to the common channel
Com
as illustrated in the following figure:
Figure 95: SWT Reverse Configuration
The SWT optical-switch module can be combined with a variety of modular sources such
as tunable external cavity laser (T100), distributed feedback laser diode (DFB) and tunable
laser source (TLS), within the same OSICS multifunction platform.
