Optical Modulators
The broad waveband NS Variable Fiber Optical Attenuator (NVOA) provides electrical control of optical power. This is achieved using our patent pending non-mechanical configuration and activated via a voltage electrical control signal. Our solid-state optical crystal design eliminates mechanical movement and organic materials. Our NVOAs are designed to meet the most demanding operation requirements of ultra-high reliability and fast response time with minimal mechanical footprint. The switch is bidirectional and broadband. This NVOA can be used as the intensity modulator as well. The broadband NS Series VOA is available in either normally-transparent or normally-opaque configurations. The NS Series VOA is controlled by 0~5V voltage with a specially designed electronic driver having performance optimized for various repetition rate.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Type: 50/125, 62.5/125 · Fiber Cover: 900um loose 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: 1260-1620nm, 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.
