Features and applications of HI1060 fiber optical switch

HI1060 fiber optical switch is an optical switch device optimized for 1060nm wavelength, widely used in fiber optic communication, sensor systems and laser technology. The following are its main features and typical applications:

1. Features of HI1060 fiber optical switch
High wavelength compatibility: Designed for 1060nm band, suitable for application scenarios such as Yb fiber laser, biomedical imaging (such as OCT), and may be compatible with near-infrared band (such as 980nm-1100nm).

Low insertion loss: The typical value can be as low as 0.5dB or less, ensuring the efficiency of optical signal transmission and reducing system power loss.

High switching speed: millisecond switching to meet applications with high real-time requirements (such as laser processing, fast sensor scanning).

Excellent optical performance: high return loss (>50dB), reducing reflection interference; low polarization-dependent loss (PDL), suitable for polarization-sensitive systems.

Stability and reliability: mechanical (such as reed drive) or MEMS technology, vibration resistance, long life (> million switching times), suitable for industrial environments.

Flexible configuration: supports 1×2, 2×2 or multi-port (such as 1×N) configuration to meet different topology requirements; optional single-mode or multi-mode fiber interface.

Diversified control interface: supports TTL, RS-232, USB or Ethernet control, easy to integrate into the automation system.

2. Typical application scenarios
Fiber laser system: used for path switching of Yb fiber laser (1060nm) to achieve multi-station processing or laser power distribution.

Medical and biological imaging: switching detection channels in optical coherence tomography (OCT) to improve imaging efficiency; or used for optical path control of laser treatment equipment.

Fiber optic sensor network: fast switching of monitoring points in distributed sensing systems (such as FBG arrays), suitable for temperature and strain monitoring (such as power, aerospace).

Test and measurement: switching different light sources or detection paths in automated test equipment to improve the efficiency of multi-parameter testing.

Communications and data centers: Provide flexible optical path management in communications experiments or optical module tests at special wavelengths (1060nm).

Scientific research and defense: Fast optical path switching in LiDAR or spectral analysis systems.
