We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Optical switch",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Complex controller board stretches expertise from
Endicott Interconnect Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Board is a core component in the Osmosis research project on next-generation optical switch technology in high-performance computing systems".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Configurable processor to control powerline chips from
Tensilica: "Design of Systems on Silicon will use the Xtensa configurable processor as a controller in a 200Mbit/s powerline chipset".
In September 2007, we covered the news from EAO
concerning its 62AG optical encoder
- take a look at Optical switch outperforms mechanical versions
which says: "The 62AG optical encoder generates a 2bit digital output to measure the magnitude and direction of the shaft or knob rotation".
Take a look also at the news release from Yokogawa Europe - Test and Measurement, Optical switch expands testing options,
as well as Poland chosen for optical switch manufacturing from Polatis,
and Two new sales executives for optical switch maker from Polatis.
