TARGET DATA SHEET
Wide Band Nanoshutter™
Optical Switch
P roduct Description
The Nanoshutter™ optical switch is a low loss, non-blocking,
latching component designed for wide-band wavelength
switching applications in the 1260 to 1600 nm fiber
transmission band. It is ideally suited for applications in
fiber optic telecommunications and Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC)
Cable TV systems. It is packaged in a rugged housing with
integral electrical pinouts and pigtail fiber leads.
The switching mechanism is activated by applying a latching
pulse to either the “Set” or “Reset” lines. Once the switch
latches in either the “Set” or “Reset” state, no further
power is required to maintain the switch state. In the event
of a power failure, the switch remains latched in its current
state. The optical switch takes advantage of Nanovation’s
low cost Nanoblock™ library of optical functions modular
approach to the design and manufacturing of optical
components for the telecommunications industry.
This device is characterized by its low insertion loss, flat
wavelength response, high isolation between switched
ports, ruggedness and high reliability. It is ideally suited for
long haul, metropolitan and local area fiber optic networks
including WDM, DWDM, OADM systems and optical component
testing. Standard products are intended to include arrays of
1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 2x2 and 4x4 switch configurations with and
without 5% monitoring taps. The Nanoblock™ technology
employed in the product design is scalable enabling higher
levels of system integration.
Customer specific components can be fabricated by combining
several optical functions such as splitters, combiners,
monitoring taps and switches to form a fully integrated
system solution.
For more information about the availability of custom
versions of the Nanoshutter™ optical switch direct your
inquiries to your local Nanovation sales representative or
