Optical Switch

Category: Bert & CDR

Optical Switch – Optical switch has an irreplaceable important role in all automated optical test system. It’s the core device to realize multiple objects testing and automated testing for various optical parameters, can avoid measurement uncertainty in multiple insertion and plug-pull of optical connectors. Dimension offers a series of high-performance OSW optical switch modules for automation testing systems. These modules fit well in laboratories and in high standard manufacturing environments, applied together with Dimension’s universal test platform, it can automatically route optical signals under program control, enabling parallel measurements for multiple optical channels and multiple optical components, significantly reducing the test time. So as to improve the total efficiency of testing procedures and reduce the overall cost.

Optical Switch – สวิตช์ออปติกมีบทบาทสำคัญที่ไม่สามารถแทนที่ได้ในระบบทดสอบออปติกอัตโนมัติทั้งหมด เป็นอุปกรณ์หลักในการทดสอบวัตถุหลายชิ้นและการทดสอบอัตโนมัติสำหรับพารามิเตอร์ออปติกต่างๆ สามารถหลีกเลี่ยงความไม่แน่นอนในการวัดได้ในการเสียบและดึงขั้วต่อออปติกหลายตัว โดย Dimension ได้นำเสนอโมดูลสวิตช์ออปติก OSW ประสิทธิภาพสูงสำหรับระบบทดสอบอัตโนมัติ โมดูลเหล่านี้เหมาะสำหรับห้องปฏิบัติการและในสภาพแวดล้อมการผลิตที่มีมาตรฐานสูง โดยใช้ร่วมกับแพลตฟอร์มทดสอบสากลของ Dimension อีกทั้งสามารถส่งสัญญาณออปติกโดยอัตโนมัติภายใต้การควบคุมโปรแกรม ทำให้สามารถวัดช่องออปติกหลายช่องและส่วนประกอบออปติกหลายชิ้นแบบขนานได้ ช่วยลดเวลาทดสอบได้อย่างมาก และยังเพื่อปรับปรุงประสิทธิภาพโดยรวมของขั้นตอนการทดสอบและลดต้นทุนโดยรวม

Programmable, supports multiple trigger modes

OSW optical switch, can flexibly set the trigger modes of path switching by its program function. It can be triggered by external TRIG signal, waiting time, touchscreen, physical button or other modes, to provide various interfaces for the subsequent development of automation program.

High repeatability

OSW can reach 10 million times of random switch, MEMS optical switch can even reach to 1 billion times. The repeatability of insertion loss for 100 times random switch is less than 0.02dB, can provide users a high reliable optical path［1］

Low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss, high channel consistency

Each channel the insertion loss is less than 1.0 dB, the polarization dependent loss is less than 0.05dB［2］

Platform + modular design, support multiple control modes

Dimension’s universal test platform, is compatible with a wide range of functional test modules including OSW optical switches, offering significant advantages such as hot-pluggable, programmable, scalable, easy to maintain & manage, and low overall cost. Supports Ethernet control, USB control, touchscreen and physical buttons.
