IV. Selection Considerations

Wavelength Matching: Ensure the operating wavelength fully covers the application requirements.
Power Capacity: Large-core fiber typically has higher power capabilities, but specific parameters still need to be confirmed.
Environmental Adaptability: Consider temperature, vibration, and other tolerances based on the operating environment.
Switching Speed: Mechanical optical switches are slower than MEMS switches, so the real-time performance requirements of the system must be evaluated.
Reliability: Typical mechanical lifespan >1 million switching cycles, especially for critical applications.
