DC-100kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator

This NS series of fast-speed drivers is designed to control the NS series of solid state variable optic attenuators (VOA). The push-pull output design is especially suitable for driving capacitive VOA loads, assuring fast response time both on rising and falling of attenuation. The driver can be operated by a 0-5V signal to control the attenuation of VOA. The standard driver controls one individual VOA. Drivers controlling multiple VOAs are also available, please call Sales at (781) 935-1200 for more information. We make custom electronic circuits for all application scenarios

Application context

Why this design is used

Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.

Optical modulation

DC-100kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path.. The fiber/interface entry (SMA, Special) must match the connected components.

Time-resolved measurement

DC-100kHz Driver for NanoSpeed™ Variable Optic Attenuator: Time-resolved measurement depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path.. The fiber/interface entry (SMA, Special) must match the connected components.
