<Advantages>
Thanks to its efficient electro-optic properties and high refractive index. EpiPhotonics' unique PLZT waveguide technology enables a new generation of efficient optical switch subsystems with potent advantages such as;

• Ultra-fast switching (10 ns)
• Low driving voltage (5V~10V)
• Bidirectional
• Low insertion loss
• Low polarization dependence
• Low power consumption
• Compact size

In addition, the PLZT products are very reliable and environmentally stable. The crystal structure of our PLZT materials and the fact that our optical switches have absolutely no moving parts guarantee high reliability and stability.

• High reliability (high-power laser admissive)
• Environmentally stable

<Applications>
EpiPhotonics' high-speed and low-power consumption products provide the key differentiators for many optical switching applications such as;

• Optical packet switching (OPS)
• Optical burst switching (OBS)
• On-demand ROADM
• On-demand crossconnects
• Switched optical access networks
• Optical interconnections (data center networks, server backplanes)
• High-speed protections
• Switched delay lines (phased array antennas, optical buffering)
