The NS Miniature series variable fiber optic attenuator provides electrical control of optical power. This is achieved using a patent pending nonmechanical configuration and activated via a voltage electrical control signal. The solid-state optical crystal design eliminates mechanical movement and organic materials. The NS series variable optical attenuators are designed to meet the most demanding operation requirements of ultra-high reliability and fast response time with minimum mechanical footprint. Agiltron also offers customized electronic designs to meet special control requirements and applications. The switch is bidirectional.
The NS Series VOA is available in either normally-transparent or normallyopaque configurations. The device can be driven by a cost effective circuit
with 12 V input voltage and 0-5 V control signal.
