FastOptical Shutter

The Ultra-Broadband Fast Fiber Optical Shutter is based on a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) fiber-to-fiber direct coupling platform driven by a fast piezo actuator. It uniquely offers fast shut-off speed of 0.5ms and near-perfect performances that are unmatched in the industry, including ultra-low insertion loss of 0.2dB, ultra-broadband from 200 to 2100nm, high blocking kevel >65dB. Light passes through the device with a thin index-matched gap without any optical coatings. It is available with all types of fibers having a 125-micron outer diameter. Other diameter fibers can be accommodated with special order.
