Integrated microfluidic variable optical attenuator.
We fabricate and measure a microfluidic variable optical attenuator, which consists of an optical waveguide integrated with a microfluidic channel. An opening is introduced in the upper cladding of the waveguide in order to facilitate the alignment and bonding of the microfluidic channel. By using fluids with different refractive indices, the optical output power is gradually attenuated. We obt...
متن کاملOrganic amorphous fluoropolymer membrane for variable optical attenuator applications
The paper describes the design, fabrication and testing of a MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) variable optical attenuator (VOA) made from an organic fluoropolymer thin film. The optical attenuation is achieved by changing the radius of curvature of the organic thin film by actuating a pneumatic force. The size of the organic polymer membrane is 4 mm × 4 mm and the measured centre displac...
متن کاملVariable Optical Attenuator Fabricated by Direct UV Writing
It is demonstrated that direct ultraviolet writing of waveguides is a method suitable for mass production of compact variable optical attenuators with low insertion loss, low polarization-dependent loss, and high dynamic range. The fabrication setup is shown to be robust, providing good device performance over a period of many months without maintenance.
متن کاملSliding-blade MEMS iris and variable optical attenuator
An iris-type variable aperture fabricated using microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology is described. The device contains a number of shutter blades, which are each driven by a separate microactuator, and translated synchronously to create a variable polygonal aperture. The optical performance of devices with different numbers of blades is compared using simple analytic models and diff...
متن کاملVariable optical attenuator using double acousto-optic modulator
A novel variable optical attenuator device is proposed and some of the potential application is pointed out. It relies on a double acousto optic modulator set up and allows one to attain dynamic range as high as 60 dB. Such feature steams out of the well known modeling of acousto optic devices, mostly based on the coupled wave analysis. Furthermore, is shown that the proposed device may exhibit...
