Variable Optical Attenuators
The Fiber-Fiber™ series VOA is based on fiber-to-fiber coupling with a micro-electro-mechanical shutter in between, featuring low loss, broadband, high power, compact size, low cost, easy drive, and excellent optical performance. The Fiber-Fiber™ series VOA complies with the Telcordia 1209 and 1221 reliability standards. The VOA is driven by directly applying a low electrical voltage.
