Ultra Mini Variable Optical Attenuator
(US patent 8,666,218 and other patents pending)
Product Description
The
et
MEMS
TM
Series VOA is based on a proprietary micro-electro-
mechanical mechanism featuring compact design, high reliability, and
excellent optical performance. The VOA is compliant with the
Telcordia 1209 and 1221 reliability standards.
The VOA is available in either normally-
open or normally-closed configurations.
The VOA is driven by applying an
electrical voltage.
