Shutter MEMS VOAs

Description

Broadex Technologies offers a MEMS based VOA with a shutter type mechanism that is extremely compact and easy to integrate into any optical network. This thermally actuated VOA is available in both bright and dark configurations and features very low insertion loss and polarization dependent loss along with high dynamic range and high off state extinction. The hermetically sealed packaging is highly insensitive to shock and vibration and is ESD safe up to 500V.

Broadex Technologies Shutter MEMS VOA is ideal for receiver protection or transponder power control, and it is also widely used in EDFAs for power equalization of all channels in multi channel  systems.
