Thermal vacuum cycles, mechanical tests and radiation tests
We have carried out a test campaign of thermal vacuum cycles, mechanical tests (vibration and shocks), and radiation tests (gamma radiation) to evaluate the performance for space applications of commercial off-the-shelf fiber-coupled optical switches with no-moving parts based on different technologies. In this document, we will show you how we selected the devices, the electro-optical characterization, and the results and conclusions we obtained at the end of this test campaign.
