Custom MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA),Custom MEMS Variable Optical

The Custom MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA) is an optical power control component based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. It is designed to provide adjustable attenuation of optical signals without converting the optical signal into the electrical domain.

By controlling the attenuation level, the MEMS VOA can be used to regulate optical power in communication, amplification, sensing, and test systems. Its compact MEMS-based structure makes it suitable for integration into optical modules, instruments, and customized photonic assemblies.

Operating wavelength, attenuation range, fiber type, control method, connector configuration, and package can be specified according to system requirements.
