mVOA Variable Optical Attenuators

Product information "mVOA Variable Optical Attenuators"

MEMS-based, Coaxial Style; Fiber Type SM (SMF28ultra, ZBL, SM600/850/980), PM (HP850/908PM); 650 to 1670 nm; Fiber Length 50 to 100 cm; Attenuation up to 30 dB, 40 dB

Sercalo Microtechnology’s mVOA series of coaxial ultra-small fiber optic variable optical attenuators (VOAs) is based on an electrostatic MEMS mirror. It comes in a hermetically sealed package with a diameter of only 3.5 mm, and the devices are manufactured with the latest techniques in laser welding for achieving better stability and improved reliability.

A voltage between 0 and 6.5 V on the drive pin sets the optical attenuation. When power is removed, the VOA returns into its default state. There are two variants available with different default states: normally open (bright) or high attenuation (dark). The dark variant has better linearity and is used in applications where the light is cut at power off. The mVOA series is designed to conform to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards. No epoxy is present in the optical path. The optical collimator is assembled using laser welding techniques which results in long term stability and excellent reliability. The components withstand rugged environments and can directly be mounted on printed circuit boards. This ultra small mVOA series is compliant to ROHS requirements 2011/65/EU and ideally suited for gain control in amplifiers and transceivers.

Key Features:

  • Diameter 3.5 mm
  • Laser Welded Package
  • Reliable- 0 to 6.5 V
  • ROHS compliant

Applications: Telecom; Instrumentation; Test and Measurement

mRC-C-1000-100/240 Recirculating Chiller
Vapor Compression Chiller; 1000 W @+35°C (amb)/+25°C (water); Flow Rate 5.5 lpm @ 0.5 bar, Temperature Stability ≥±0.05 K at constant load; Power Supply 90-264 VAC Key Features: Recirculating Water Chiller Easy to be Integrated in Customer Application User-Definable PID Parameters and Fan Velocity Silent Operation with Low Vibration and Noise Ideal for Water Cooling Tasks up to 1000 W Customizable booster cooling capacity IoT Ready as an Option: Remote Operation, Monitoring and Service over Integrated Ethernet Interface Depending on the temperatures of coolant (water) and ambient, AMS Technologies’ mRC-C-1000-100/240 recirculating chiller provides approximately 1000 W (Twater = +25°C, Tambient = +35°C) in silent mode boostable to higher cooling capacities with higher fan speeds. The chiller contains a compressor-based refrigerant circuit as well as a closed, recirculating coolant (water) circuit. Due to its speed-controlled compressor, the mRC-C-1000-100/240 recirculating chiller offers low vibration and noise throughout the compressor’s BLDC speed range. The system’s features include global operability due to a universal 90 to 264 VAC power supply, as well as an optional integrated Ethernet interface allowing remote operation, monitoring and service. Further options are a gear pump providing 5 bar @5 l/min, CPC inlet and/or outlet fittings, external coolant filters or dust filters, and a hardware set for 19” rack mount (6U). For lower heat loads, we also carry a mRC-C-450-100/240 mini Recirculating Chiller with up to 450 W cooling capacity. Specifications: Cooling Capacity: nominal 1 kW (Twater = +25 °C, Tambient = +35 °C) Temperature Stability: +-0.05°C at constant load Available Pressure Head: 0.5 bar @ 5.5 lpm (standard), 5 bar @ 5 lpm (optional) Control: Local, RS232, IoT Ready, Interlock Power Supply: 90 to 264 VAC, 24 VDC Derivative for OEM integrations available on Demand Power Consumption: <750 W Options: 19” Rack Mount (6U); Ethernet / IoT Ready; Optional Pumps; CPC Inlet/Outlet Fittings; External Coolant Filters; External Dust Filters; Green Version Based on Propane (R290) as Refrigerant Dimensions: 443 x 283 x 675 mm, Main Body Without Filter Approval: CE (in process) Applications: Water Cooling of Lasers and Other Applications with up to 1000 W Heat Load

SW Series Fiber Optic MEMS Switches
Non-latching; 1x2 to 1x32; Fiber Type SM, MM; 1240 to 1640 nm; Insertion Loss 0.5 to 2.5 dB; Crosstalk 60 dB; Switching Time 1 to 20 ms Sercalo Microtechnology’s SW series are very fast, opto-mechanical switches based on the MEMS technology. These non-latching MEMS switches available both for single mode (SM) and multi mode (MM) fibers in 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x13, 1x16, 1x32 and 2x2 configurations. All SW series 1xN components are designed to establish an optical connection between one optical port and either one of up to 32 input or output lines in a very short time, while the 2x2 variants are designed for optical cross connect switching in single mode (SM) or multi mode (MM) fiber networks. Powered by a 5 VDC supply voltage, the SW series switches allow to control the switching state with a 5 V TTL or CMOS drive signal. The switching mechanism offers the reliability of a solid state device; it neither wears out nor degrades over time. Even after billions of cycles the switching quality stays constant. The SW series’ highly reliable switching mechanism uses integrated micromirrors, features fast switching times down to below 1 ms for some models and shows only 0.5 to 2.5 dB insertion loss. With its MEMS switching structure, the SM series of fiber optic MEMS switches achieves repeatability of 0.001 dB and shows a very flat insertion loss over the full spectrum of the fiber. The miniature package withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. The SM switch series is qualified according to Telcordia GR 1221 and mainly used in test and measurement applications. Key Features: Reliable Insertion Loss (IL): 0.5 to 2.5 dB Response Time: 1 to 20 ms Crosstalk: 60 dB Miniature Size Non-latching Applications: Optical Reconfiguration; Protection Switching; Network Restoration
