MULTI-CHANNEL MEMS DPE MODULE
DiCon’s Dynamic Power Equalizer (DPE) maintains output
optical power at a preset level for up to four fiber channels.
The DPE continuously adjusts the attenuation through closed
loop feedback from an output tap to our MEMS based
attenuators.

PPLICATIONS
The MEMS DPE can be used in a broad range of optical power
management applications, including channel balancing and
matching, testing the dynamic range of optical systems, and
limiting optical power at the inputs of sensitive test and
measurement equpiment.
