High Power Variable
Optical Attenuator/Modulator
(Protected by U.S. patent 7,403,677B1 and pending patents)
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 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.
Agiltron also offers customized electronic designs to meet special control
requirements and applications. 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 12 V input voltage and 0-5 V control signal.
