Product Detail
AFR's MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator is based on an electrostatic drived micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS chip consists of a tilting mirror to change light coupling between input and output fibers. The components are characterized with low insertion loss, fast response and compact size. It is widely uesd in WDM networks, power control or gain variation in EDFA.
