A novel optical switch for loop bus-line data paths is introduced. Direct fiber movement achieves switching with a low 0.82 dB insertion loss in bypass mode.

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Optical communication systems
  • Fiber optics

Background:

  • Loop bus-line configurations are common in data path networks.
  • Efficient and low-loss optical switching is crucial for network performance.
  • Existing optical switches may have limitations in specific network topologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a new type of optical switch.
  • To evaluate its suitability for loop bus-line data paths.
  • To present performance metrics including insertion loss and environmental test results.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a novel optical switch mechanism.
  • Direct fiber movement for switching functionality.
  • Characterization of insertion loss in bypass mode.
