Variable Optical Attenuators
The MEMS series VOA array utilizes a micro-electro-mechanical mechanism with a compact design, simple construction, and easy direct drive, delivering exceptional optical performance. We offer two versions: one with high repeatability and attenuation of up to 40dB and another less precise version with up to 70 dB attenuation. Each channel in the VOA is controlled by directly applying an electrical voltage. The MEMS series VOA array complies with Telcordia 1209 and 1221 reliability standards. A version designed for reliable operation in vibration-prone environments is available as an option.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Mini MEMS 8 Channel Variable Optical Attenuator Array: Optical power control depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1060, C+L, 1310, 1550, 780, 850, 850~1310, 1260~1620 wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF28, HI1060, HI780, MM50/125, MM62.5/125, PM1550, PM1310, PM980, PM850, PM780) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: SMF28, HI1060, HI780, MM50/125, MM62.5/125, PM1550, PM1310, PM980, PM850, PM780 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 0.9mm tube, Special. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 1060, C+L, 1310, 1550, 780, 850, 850~1310, 1260~1620. Check the Variable Optical Attenuators passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
