AGILTRON NanoSpeed F Series User manual

The NanoSpeedTM F series fiber optic on-off switches are fast shutter device
uniquely featuring very low optical loss, fast response, and high optical
power handling. The high extinction of 50dB is achieved using a patent
pending feedback electro-optical bias control technology, that maintains
the optimum performance against drift and environment variations. The NS
fiber-optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching
requirements of ultra-high reliability for undersea, space, continuous
switching operation, and longevity over 25 years. The switch is bidirectional.
It is well suited to replace acoustic modulator with advantages of low loss,
low power consumption, and low cost.

[1] Operation bandwidth is +/- 25nm approximately at 1550nm.
[2] Measured without connectors. For other wavelength, please contact us.
[3] Measured at 100kHz, which may be degraded at higher repeat rate.
[4] Defined at 1310nm/1550nm. For the shorter wavelength, the handling power may
be reduced, please contact us for more information.
The NS Series switch is controlled by 5V TTL signals with a specially
designed electronic driver having performance optimized for various
repetition rate. A wall pluggable DC power supply is accompanied with
each devices.

[1]. High power switch isn’t available for the wavelength shorter than 960nm
[2]. Only 1x1 has transparent and opaque selection, for 1x2 and 2x2 choose normal transparent
[3]. There isn’t any connector in the high power switches normally. Please contact us for high power connectors.

1. Connect a control signal to the SMA connector on the PCB
2. Attach the accompanied power supply (typically a wall-pluggable unit).
3. The device should then function properly.
Note: Do not alter device factory settings.
