MMVOA Variable Optical Attenuators

Product information "MMVOA Variable Optical Attenuators"

MEMS-based; Fiber Type SM, PM; C or L Band; Connector Type (Receptacle) FC/PC, ST, SC; LC, MU, E2000; Attenuation up to 40 dB

OZ Optics’ MMVOA series of MEMS-based variable optical attenuators (VOAs) come in a miniature package. These best-in-class attenuators are available either as single units or as arrays of attenuators in which each VOA has its own independent continuous control. Attenuation is controlled by an analog DC voltage input signal.

OZ Optics’ MMVOA series of MEMS-based VOAs is available with either Single Mode or Polarization Maintaining (PM) fibers. Advanced manufacturing techniques ensure optimum alignment of PM fibers, allowing high Polarization Extinction Ratios while dramatically minimizing assembly costs.

MMVOA series of MEMS VOAs are available in any combination of the following parameters: (1) Single VOAs with 0 to 6.5 V or 0 to 18 V driving power; (2) VOA arrays with 5 V power supply to the module and 0 to 6.5 V on each driving pin; (3) normally open or normally closed.

Architecture: Uni-axial, Uni-directional, MEMS Mirror; Electrostatic Comb; Fully Symmetric

Key Features:

  • Telcordia GR-1209 and GR-1221 qualified
  • Small size
  • Available as Single-channel Discrete VOA, 4 & 8 Channel VOA Arrays and with Higher Port Counts up to 40 VOAs per Module
  • Normally-open or Normally-closed
  • Low Voltage (6.5 V) or High Voltage (18 V)
  • Single Mode or PM Fber
  • Analog DC Voltage Control
  • Independent Continuous Attenuation Control for Each Channel
  • Fast Response, Hight Dynamic Range
  • Low Insertion Loss, WDL, PDL, TDL

Applications: Signal Power Management in Optical Networks; Dynamic Optical Power Control and Channel Equalization in Add/drop Multiplexers; Power Balancing before Modulation and Multiplexing; Active Gain Equalization in DWDM Systems; Power Control into Receivers; Gain Tilt Control in EDFAs; Channel Balancing for Optimizing Transmission Performance in Long-haul and Metro Networks; Test Equipment

MAP-300 Optical Application Mainframes
Capacity 3, 8 Cassettes; 3.5-in Touch Screen; Interfaces USB 3.0, Ethernet, Monitor Port; Operating System Linux; Optical Plug-in Modules GPIB, USB/LAN Expansion, Trigger Viavi Solutions’ MAP-300 series of multiple application optical test and measurement platform is optimized for compact cost-effective development and manufacturing of optical communications technology. The MAP system is the heart of Viavi Solutions’ optical test solutions for labs and manufacturing. With unmatched scalability, users can be assured that these solutions will meet their current and future needs. MAP-300 provides the foundation to Viavi Solutions’ entire portfolio, enabling scalability and efficiency for manufacturing optical network elements, modules and components. The MAP-300 series is compatible with all Viavi Solutions’ current cassettes and legacy cassette (all -C1, -C2 and -B1 modules). The cassette modules fall into two different families, the LightTest turn-key solutions and LightDirect configurable solutions to meet each customer’s exact needs. While the LightDirect family of easy-to-control, single-functionality modules includes a wide range of foundational optical test modules that are used in simple bench test applications, or combined in larger, multi-modules customer driven automated test systems, the LightTest family are application specific, integrated test solutions that leverage the power of the MAP Series Super-Application or PC based software. MAP-300 builds upon the proven strengths of the MAP System while adding innovation where it matters most for our customers. Backwards compatible support for the installed automation base, combined with several new features, including an HTML-based GUI for multi-user environments, gives customers the capabilities they need to achieve their goals. The MAP-300 mainframe, like its predecessor, is offered in both benchtop and rackmount versions as either three (MAP-330) or eight slot (MAP-380) mainframe configurations. The eight-slot version can also be provided in a reverse rack-mount configuration. Key Features: Rackmount, Reverse-rackmount and Benchtop Mainframe Configurations HTML-based Graphical User Interface for Consistent User Experience Locally & Remotely Field-replaceable Controller Includes an Integrated 3.5-inch LCD Touchscreen Support for USB 3.0 Port, 15.6-inch External Monitor and Ethernet Optional GPIB, Additional Ethernet Ports and Additional USB and Trigger Modules SCPI Logical Interface for Automation Programming with Remote Programming Supported Multi-user Capabilit Backward Compatible with MAP2xx Series Cassettes and Remote-control Support Hot-swappable Modules Applications: General Purpose Fiber-optic Lab Use; Manufacturing Test Automation; DWDM/WSS Test; Connectivity IL/RL; Polarization Scrambling and OSNR
