MEMS VOA
This MEMS-based Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) ensures precise and stable optical power management with low insertion loss (max. 0.8 dB) and high accuracy. It offers a wide attenuation range up to 60 dB and supports wavelengths including 1310 nm & 1550 nm. Ideal for channel equalization, receiver protection, OADM/ROADM, and EDFA gain-tilt control, the device guarantees reliable performance with high repeatability and stability. Available in both Bright and Dark configurations, it operates across a wide temperature range and supports standard single-mode fiber, with various connector and fiber length options to meet diverse application requirements.
