PRODUCT UPDATE
OptoTest offers new optical switch configurations
Camarillo, California-based OptoTest is proud to announce the release of an update to its OP720 optical switch for test and measurement applications. Its existing slim-line, 1U enclosure still works for 1xN switches up to 24 channels, but the redesign allows for many new configurations to fit within a 2U rack-mountable enclosure, the company says. These changes will enable greater degrees of customisation. One new configuration for the enclosure is a 1xN configuration with channel counts between 24 and 48. This will reduce the amount of space used in rack enclosures and help to make tabletop workstations more compact. Similarly, another new configuration allows for two 1xN switches of up to 24 channels, each to be controlled independently by the same 2U device. OptoTest now offers an NxM switch with up to 24 channels in each direction that fits in the 2U rack-size unit. This simplifies custom test setups with multiple input devices or work benches that require multiple sources to be switched to multiple channels.

US Conec redesigns PRIZM LightTurn MOI for 25G embedded optics
US Conec, a developer of high-density optical interconnects, has released its next-generation PRIZM LightTurn mechanical-optical interface (MOI), which has been optimised for embedded module applications based on 25Gb/s vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs). The PRISM LightTurn MOI contains an array of collimating lenses designed for efficient coupling between board-mounted active components and a detachable fibre-optic connector, such as US Conec’s PRIZM LightTurn connector, which uses expanded-beam lensed ferrule technology. To maintain system performance as speed
increases from 10Gb/s to 25Gb/s and beyond, the critical components of VCSELs and photodiodes must be redesigned with more stringent part and assembly tolerances. The photodiode aperture must be much smaller. ‘Coupling optimisation between the reduced aperture optics and fibre- optic connectors is increasingly critical to the performance of the systems,’ explained Sharon Lutz, ferrules product manager for US Conec. The PRIZM LightTurn MOI 25+ Gbps takes into account the chip driver and wire-bond clearance requirements, while optimising the optical lens design to maximise coupling performance for both transmitter and receiver.
