Electrostatic Variable Optical Attenuator

A Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) is a controllable device used to reduce the optical power traveling through a fiber or free-space optical path. The optical fiber built into each device is single mode over the specified operating wavelength. We offer the industry's most extensive selection of fiber variable optical attenuators (VOAs), addressing all application scenarios with best-in-class performance and value. These operate by collecting and collimating light from an input fiber and then reflecting this light off of an ultra-stable and reliable, single-axis DiCon MEMS mirror.

Variable Attenuation Fiber Optic Attenuator

As light in fibers often does not have a well defined polarization state, it is important that a fiber-optic attenuator exhibits only a minimum amount of polarization dependence. Generally, the obtained insertion loss has some dependence on the optical wavelength. For multimode devices, however, some loss difference is possible in conjunction with a mode dependence.

Fiber optic attenuators replace splitters

A fiber-optic attenuator is a passive device used in fiber optics to reduce the power level of an optical signal. It is often used in optical fiber communications to adjust the signal to a suitable level for a receiver.

Can optical attenuators be stacked

Attenuation (in dB) will increase algebraically, as long as all individual attenuators are designed to operate at the same impedance and they are operating at that impedance. An optical attenuator is a passive device that is used to reduce the power level of an optical signal. Can optical filters be cascaded to increase out-of-band attenuation (Optical Density)? Yes, optical filters from Syronoptics.

Use of Optical Attenuators

Optical attenuators are commonly used in fiber-optic communications, either to test power level margins by temporarily adding a calibrated amount of signal loss, or installed permanently to properly match transmitter and receiver levels. The power reduction is done by such means as absorption, reflection, diffusion, scattering, deflection, diffraction, and dispersion, etc.
