Variable Slope Fiber Optical Attenuators Jan 6, 2010

This fiber optic attenuators are used to correct variations in amplifier gain profile due to add-drop multiplexing and Raman effect.

variable slope fiber optic attenuators equalizes uneven gain profiles inherent to the use of optical amplifiers. The VSA uses hermetic sealing for increased resistance to environmental extremes. It is available in low contrast and high contrast variants, and offers excellent positive or negative slope optical performance in either the C or L bands.This fiber optic products is compact in size and can easily be mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB),it is important component to use in fiber optic cables links. It is used to correct variations in amplifier gain profile due to add-drop multiplexing and Raman effect.
