The ChemOptics VOA is a compact variable optical attenuator
that provides low insertion loss, a small footprint and extremely
high reliability. Based on polymer planar lightwave circuit
(PPLC) technology and a unique operation principle, it delivers
more than 30 dB of dynamic attenuation range with less than
20 mW of power consumption per channel and can be easily expanded
to multi-channel VOA. With outstanding features and excellent
price-performance ratio, it provides special advantages in metro
and DWDM networks.
