Five Types of Optical Switches & Where They’re Used?

Introduce five types of optical switches and their applications. Relay Optical Switches The relay optical switch features a simple structure and high stability, making it ideal for laboratory automated testing systems. Magneto-Optical Switches Magneto-optic switches resist electromagnetic interference, making them ideal for aerospace and fiber-optic sensing in wind, seismic, and dam monitoring. MEMS Optical Switches MEMS optical switches are compact, fast, and highly integrable. They shine in data centers, AI compute, or anywhere optical signal paths need to be automatically and rapidly reconfigured, helping networks stay efficient and flexible. Polarization-Maintaining (PM) Optical Switches PM optical switches maintain the polarization state of light — a must for systems that rely on precise polarization control, like interferometric sensors or quantum key distribution setups. Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) WSS can dynamically select and route specific wavelengths of light, making it a key component in ROADM. It enables intelligent wavelength routing and flexible optical networking.
