Abstract

In this article, an optical fiber switch based on a digital actuator is presented. Four discrete positions are obtained through a magnetic holding of a Mobile Permanent Magnet (MPM) placed in a fixed square cavity. The MPM can switch, thanks to Lorentz's force, between the four corners of the cavity. A 1X4 optical fiber switch is obtained by fixing a prismatic mirror on the top side of the MPM and an N × N switch array can be obtained using a matrix of this unit. After a presentation of the actuator principle, the optical switch is detailed and characterized for telecommunication purpose.

基于数字执行器的1X4光开关

本文介绍了一种基于数字执行器的光纤开关。通过放置在固定方形腔内的移动永磁体(MPM)的磁持有获得四个离散位置。由于洛伦兹力，MPM可以在腔体的四个角之间切换。通过在MPM的顶部固定一个棱镜镜可以得到一个1X4光纤交换机，利用该单元的矩阵可以得到一个N × N开关阵列。在介绍了致动器原理后，详细介绍了用于通信目的的光开关。
