The NS variable fiber optic attenuator is an electro-optic device that provides electrical control of optical power. This is achieved using a patented non-mechanical configuration and activated via an 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 dual stage version provides deep attenuation with normally-opaque and normally-transparent configurations. The device comes with an electronic driving daughter board with 5 V input voltage and 0~5 V control signal.
