Optical Modulators
The NS series variable fiber optic attenuator provides electrical control of optical power. This is achieved using our patented electro-optical configuration. The solid-state optical crystal design eliminates mechanical movement and organic materials. The NS series variable optical attenuators are designed to meet the most demanding operational requirements of ultra-high reliability and fast response time with a minimum mechanical footprint. The device is bidirectional. The NS Series VOA is available in either normally transparent or normally-opaque configurations. Our PCB driver listed on the web is recommended to operate our device, featuring high efficiency and low cost with 12VDC power and 0-5V control input.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
High Speed Broadband Variable Optical Attenuator 950-2400nm, 120nm Coverage: Optical modulation depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1060nm, 1600nm, 1310nm, 1410nm, 1550nm, 1950nm, 2100nm, Special wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, Hi1060, PM1550, PM1400, PM1310, PM980, PM1900, PM2000, Special) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: SMF-28, Hi1060, PM1550, PM1400, PM1310, PM980, PM1900, PM2000, Special · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um 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.
Center Wavelength: 1060nm, 1600nm, 1310nm, 1410nm, 1550nm, 1950nm, 2100nm, Special. Check the Optical Modulators 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.
