Lightwaves2020’s liquid crystal based variable optical attenuator (VOA) is a voltage-controlled device designed specifically for power management in optical networks. The device has a dynamic range of up to 40dB attenuation and wide operating band of wavelength from 1260nm to 1620nm. Continuous tuning without moving parts
Small footprint Built-in driver Continuous tuning without moving parts Resistant to mechanical vibration Low PDL, WDL Wide operating wavelength range Slow tuning slope without backlash and historic
Real time optical power adjustment Continuous tuning without moving parts High precise optical power control Low insertion loss Wide dynamic range RS232 interface
The Lightwaves2020’s high-speed Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) is based on novel optical material offering fast response in µs, in contrast with conventional LC-based VOAwith speed in ms. The dramatic increase in response speed enables the new VOA suitable for demanding 40Gbs applications. An optional driver-PCB, on which the VOA is mounted, is provided. The device…
W2 designs and manufactures innovative, photonic integrated circuit (PIC) based MEMS (micro electro-mechanical systems) Miniature Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) for next generation, dynamically configurable optical networks. W2’s MEMS products base on electrostatic MEMS technology. The VOA is very compact with length of 14mm and can be packaged inside of a optial receiver or used for…
