Santec Releases Polarization Maintaining Optical Switch

Santec Introduces New Ultra-Low Loss Polarization Maintaining Optical Switch.

SANTEC CORPORATION, a leading manufacturer of advanced optical components, tunable lasers, optical test equipment, and OCT systems, announces the product launch of the polarization maintaining OSX-100 optical switch. It is well suited for applications such as lab and R&D, automated device testing, or high-volume production testing.

Covering a wide wavelength range from 1250 to 1670 nm, the PM OSX-100 is built with Panda PM fiber. Excellent ± 0.005 dB repeatability, PER > 23 dB and IL < 1.0 dB make the OSX-100 invisible to your application. Standard configurations use SC or FC bulkheads up to 24 channels, however, higher channel counts, customized fiber types, and wavelength ranges are possible upon request.

The OSX-100 is easy to incorporate into any test setup with SCPI commands via USB or Ethernet. An optional front-panel touchscreen is also available for local control.
