SKU: PVOA

The High Precision Series Variable Optical Attenuator (PVOA) offers exceptional performance with an ultra-low insertion loss of 0.2 dB and a wide operational range from 300 to 2100 nm. It features a continuous light path with no gaps, ultra-high setting stability of 0.1 dB, and a linear response that is independent of input optical power. Built on an innovative micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) platform with a fast piezo actuator, integrated laser, and optical position sensor, the PVOA delivers precise and stable attenuation controlled by an electrical signal, maintaining accuracy despite environmental variations. Unlike typical feedback control VOAs, it does not tap signal light that increases loss and maintains precision even at low optical power levels, ensuring uninterrupted light transmission thanks. This makes it ideal for interferometric sensors, ultra-high-speed data transmissions up to 200 Gb/s, and applications requiring extensive wavelength coverage. It is compatible with fibers having a 125-micron outer diameter, with other diameters available upon request. The PVOA can be precisely controlled up to 30 dB, with attenuation levels reaching up to 65 dB when precision is not required. The PVOA is also available as a component with four fiber ports: two for the VOA, one for laser light input, and one for connection to a detector. The laser and detector pair form a feedback control loop to precisely manage attenuation.
