Fiber-optic switches are becoming increasingly important for fiber management, restoration and provisioning applications in dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) long distance telecom networks. Specific applications for optical switches include optical crossconnects and optical add/drop multiplexers.
BeamBox polymer based fiber-optic space switches have been submitted to a reliability qualification program. The results of this program show that these switches meet the requirements for telecommunication applications. Highly stable switches have been obtained by proper design, testing, and optimization of materials, parts, and production processes.
