Features of Digitally Adjustable Optical Attenuators

These attenuators use silicon on insulator (SOI) or pHEMT technologies to provide a wide selection of performance in frequency range, linearity, switching speed and robustness. OZ Optics offers a broad range of both variable and fixed attenuators having key competitive advantages. This wide wavelength range makes these components ideal for DWDM applications. By allowing digital step control of attenuation, they offer superior accuracy, repeatability, and integration flexibility. Attenuators, as you probably already know, control the amplitude, or strength, a signal in a high-frequency RF system.
