Electrically breaking a fiber connection?
<< < (4/5) > >>
Kalvin:
Would bending the fiber very sharply give sufficient attenuation to emulate the loss of connection?

Well yes, but the more critical question is can you straighten and get your light back, to which the answer is unlikely.
Chalcogenide:
I wonder if you could move to free space optics (by collimating the light and then re-launching it into a fiber), and then use a mechanical shutter in between the free space path. The losses may be significant, but it should be possible, although maybe not too practical.

maybe spin a prism or mirror?

would be nice to have a bullet proof component for breaking fiber lines in remote areas where you don't wanna put weird IC's and PSU shit.

How about an Ax.   ;D

I was thinking more like a damaged submarine cable or something
