Viavi Solutions Inc. - mVOA-C1QSM (MAP Series Metrology Grade Variable Optical Attenuator)
The Multiple Application Platform (MAP series) Variable Optical Attenuator (mVOA-C1) is a stepper motor and filter-based attenuator that delivers metrology-grade programmable attenuation performance in the industry’s most compact package.
With more than 30 years of leadership in high-performance attenuators for lab and manufacturing applications, the mVOA-C1, is now in its fifth generation. The VOA is a highresolution, wide wavelength-range attenuator ideal for use in applications such as amplifier testing, 100/400GE client optic testing and stressing dvanced next generation coherent long haul interfaces. The attenuator is built on proven industry leading technology for maximum reliability and performance.
The mVOA has low, industry leading, insertion loss (<0.9 dB) and exceptional spectral and attenuation uniformity, thus minimizing loss budget. Making the mVOA deal for CWDM and DWDM test applications. The attenuation accuracy (± 0.01 dB) and repeatability (±0.015 dB) are key to enabling manufacturing test systems that maximize test yield.
