MEMS VOA

A total fiber cable solution provider for data center, testing labs and enterprise networking companies.

20.5 x Φ5.3 mm

Description
 

N2’s MEMS VOA is designed for applications of power control in EDFA and WDM modules. The product includes a reliable MEMS VOA chip with rapid response time and low power consumption.

 

 

N2’s patent technology – WDL compensation provides superior WDL performance and its compact package design assures of reliable product quality that fully complies with Telcordia GR-1221 Qualification.

Feature
 
  • Rapid response time

  • Low power consumption

  • Ultra low WDL: WDL<0.3dB in 20dB attenuation range, 40nm bandwidth

  • Full band compensation: WDL@20dB att. <0.2dB in C+L band

 

 

Application
 
  • Power management in optical networks

  • Gain-tilt control in EDFA

  • Channel equalization in WDM module

  • Receiver protection and switching
