Variable Optical Attenuators

Mini MEMS 8 Channel Variable Optical Attenuator Array

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.
