Switch-type optical attenuator

Home / Switch-type optical attenuator

An optical attenuator, or fiber optic attenuator, is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise variable, and continuously variable. The power reduction is done by such means as absorption, reflection, diffusion, scattering, deflection, diffraction, and dispersion, etc.

Optical Switch

An optical switch functions by selectively switching an optical signal delivered through an optical fiber or an integrated optical circuit to another. Several methods are available and each relies
