1×4 and 1×8 bidirectional magneto-optic switches, as the name implies, are optoelectronic devices that achieve optical signal switching based on the magneto-optic effect. They respectively have one input port and four or eight output ports, and through the control of an externally applied magnetic field, can flexibly switch the input optical signal to any one or more output ports. This bidirectional switching characteristic makes 1×4 and 1×8 bidirectional magneto-optic switches play a crucial role in optical communication networks.
