Features
The PLZT photonics are powerful tool to process　optical signal at
nano-second speed with low polarization dependence. Thanks to its excellent electro-optic properties, novel fabrication process,
and efficient device structure. EpiPhotonics' unique PLZT waveguide
technology enables a new generation of efficient and ultra-fast photonics
with potent advantages such as;
- Ultra-fast switching (10 ns)
- Scalability (1x1~1x16 ports and 2x2~8x8 ports)
- Bidirectional (i.e. works as 1x2 and 2x1)
- TTL control (in a driver board version)
- Low power consumption
In addition, the PLZT products are very reliable and environmentally stable.
The crystal structure of our PLZT materials and the fact that our optical
switches have absolutely no moving parts guarantee high reliability and
stability.
- High reliability (high-power laser admissive)
- Environmentally stable
How it works
A full system includes a MMI-MZ PLZT optical switch module mounted on a
high-speed switch driver equipped with a FPGA controller. The controller
communicates with a PC via a serial cable and gives TTL signals to the
switch driver. The switch driver gives optimized high-speed voltages to
the switch module. Users may give TTL signals from their own FPGA or multichannel
pulse generator via parallel cables without the controller.
Applications
EpiPhotonics' high-speed and low-power consumption products provide the
key differentiators for many optical switching applications such as;
- Optical packet switching (OPS)
- Optical burst switching (OBS)
- On-demand ROADM
- On-demand crossconnects
- Switched optical access networks
- Optical interconnections (data center networks, server backplanes)
- High-speed protections
- Switched delay lines (phased array antennas, optical buffering)
