JDSU 2x2 MEMS Fiber Optical Switch.

The JDSU Agile Optical Components family includes modulators, switches, attenuators and tunable filters. These products provide the basis for spectrally efficient DWDM transmission utilizing dispersion tolerant modulation, channel monitoring, wavelength switching, remote power control and dynamic channel selection. They support a wide range of flexible functionalities at lower operational expenses for the Agile Optical Network. In addition, we have a complete line of tunable lasers assemblies and sub-assemblies in our Agile Transmission Module family.

The JDSU next-generation, all-optical miniature opto-mechanical (MOM) fiberoptic switch is a single-mode component that increases network flexibility. Its hermetic packaging provides high reliability under demanding central office conditions and is GR-1221 qualified.

Collimated beam optics, an epoxy-free optical path, and a specially designed mirror and moving prism mechanism enable excellent performance characteristics. Directly mountable on printed circuit boards, the MOM switch is equipped with status contacts to provide an electrical readout of the switch position.

On request, JDSU also provides customized modular assemblies that incorporate taps, wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs), splitters, and other components. The MOM switch's unique unilateral input and output fiber configuration is ideal for these assemblies.
