PM fiber Variable
Optical Attenuator/Modulator
(Protected by U.S. patent 7,403,677B1 and pending patents)
(Bidirectional)
Product Description
The NS Series Variable Fiber Optic Attenuator provides electrical control
of optical power. This is achieved using a patent pending non-mechanical
configuration and activated via a voltage electrical control signal. The
solid-state optical crystal design eliminates all mechanical movement and
organic materials. The NS Series Variable Optical Attenuators 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.
The NS Series VOA is available in either normally-transparent or normally-
opaque configurations. The device can be driven by a cost effective circuit
with 12V input voltage and 0-5V control signal
