1×2 optical switch for indoor LAN

Polymer optical fiber (POF) is suitable for indoor local area network (LAN), because of its flexibility and its ease of connection due to its relatively large core diameter. A 1×2 optical switch for indoor LAN using POF and a shape memory alloy (SMA) coil actuator with magnetic latches was successfu...

A 1×2 optical switch for indoor LAN using POF and a shape memory alloy (SMA) coil actuator with magnetic latches was successfully fabricated and tested.

A SMA coil actuator is used for large displacement and a magnetic latching system is used for fixing the position of the shifted POF. The insertion loss is 0.40 to 0.50dB and crosstalk is more than 50dB without index-matching oil. Switching speed is less than 0.5s at a driving current of 80mA.
