matrIQ-VOA™ – Variable Optical Attenuator

Coherent Solutions’ matrIQ-VOA is a variable optical attenuator with fast attenuation speed, low insertion loss and and in-built power meter.

Its advanced power stabilization function lets you set and maintain the output power stability even when the input power fluctuates. matrIQ-VOA is available in a range of wavelengths to suit a wide range of applications.

Its stackable, space-saving design and intuitive software controls make it a valued addition to the optical lab or test bench.

 

Features

fast attenuationFast attenuation speed

Fast attenuation speed minimizes the down time during changes in attenuation settings to shorten your overall test time.

power monitoringBuilt in power monitoring capability

Eliminate the need for an extra power meter with the built-in power monitoring capability. Know the actual power coming out of the attenuator all from the matrIQ-VOA.

 0.01pm tuning resolutionConstant power output mode

With the built-in closed-loop power monitoring, matrIQ-VOA can operate in the constant power output mode to stabilize fluctuating input power.
