PM MEMS Attenuator
DiCon’s PM MEMS Attenuator is based on a micro-electro-
mechanical system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of an
electrically movable mirror on a silicon support. A voltage applied
to the MEMS chip causes the mirror to rotate, which changes the
coupling of light between the input and output fibers of the
MEMS Attenuator.

Applications
MEMS Attenuators are used for distributed power equalization within
OADMs, MUX/DMUXes, Band Equalizers, Channel Equalizers, Optical
Cross-Connects, Line Cards and Transponders. Polarization Maintaining
Attenuators can also be used for power adjustment in polarization
sensitive devices such as modulators.
