High-Performance MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator (VOA)
Sercalo’s variable optical attenuators (VOAs) are built on proprietary MEMS chips produced directly in Sercalo’s own state-of-the-art fabrication facility. This vertical integration ensures that every chip meets our rigorous standards for quality, reliability, and performance.
Key Features
- Low Actuation Voltage: Designed for efficiency, the VOA operates with a low control voltage of 0 to 5 V at a wavelength range from 1250 to 1650 nm. This eliminates the need for high-voltage drivers, simplifying your circuit design and reducing power consumption.
- In-House Fabrication: Produced in Sercalo’s dedicated MEMS fab, ensuring long-term component availability and strict process control.
- Proven Reliability: Based on robust electrostatic MEMS technology, offering high repeatability and a long operational lifespan.
- Compact Integration: The small footprint of the MEMS chip makes it ideal for space-constrained applications in optical networking and instrumentation.
Applications
- Optical power leveling in multi-channel systems.
- Gain control in Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA).
- Receiver protection and power regulation.
- Test and measurement instrumentation.
