NanoOpto and SpectraSwitch Introduce Variable Optical Attenuator

NanoOpto and SpectraSwitch have begun sampling a jointly-developed Lambda Processor Free Space Variable Optical Attenuator (FSVOA) initially targeted at optical transceivers, transponders and tunable lasers. The electronically controlled variable optical attenuator and shutter is designed for free-space integration into a broad range of optical components. The initial release of the Lambda Processor FSVOA supports either C-band or C+L-band wavelength ranges, provides up to 35dB of tunable attenuation, and has less than 0.4dB of insertion loss in a device 1.4 millimeters in thickness. The liquid crystal device is produced using nano-optic and nano-manufacturing technology.
