Space Qualified Fiber Optic Switch

SA Photonics is developing a space qualified optical switch for satellite applications.  This is a compact, low loss, low power, highly reliable switch system designed from the ground up for satellite operations.

The optical switch system will allow for significant increases in system bandwidth capabilities when compared with current electrical communication hardware, as well as eliminate data transfer bottlenecks (no EOE conversion necessary) and provide a critical component for a space-based mesh network.
