Optical Attenuator Types and Applications
By: AnnieHunter Date: August 21, 2018, 5:11 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Optical attenuator is a very essential fiber optic passive
additives. It’s an necessary device for fiber CATV. So far the
marketplace has shaped 4 series which can be fixed-step,
variable, continuously variable and smart optical attenuator.
Types of Optical Attenuators
A. Displacement Optical Attenuator
As all of us understand, when the 2 sections of optical fiber
connection, have to meet a without a doubt excessive accuracy,
in an effort to make the optical signal a smaller loss
transmission previously. Conversely, when the fiber to help make
the proper changes within the precision, you could manage the
quantity of attenuation. Displacement-kind optical attenuator is
based totally on this principle, the purpose of the fiber in the
butt, the appearance of positive dislocation. The sunshine
electricity loss, for you to attain the purpose of a controlled
amount of attenuation, the displacement-type optical attenuator
is split into two types: the lateral displacement kind optical
attenuator, the axial displacement of the optical attenuator.
The lateral displacement from the optical attenuator is a
classical method, due to the significance from the lateral
displacement parameters within the micron stage, so generally do
no longer should produce a variable attenuator is used simplest
for producing fixed attenuator, and the use of welding or stick
connection, there may be still a great marketplace, the
advantage of high return loss, typically more than 60 dB. Axial
displacement kind optical attenuator by using mechanical manner
so long as the procedure layout of two optical fibers a sure
distance with the goal, is possible attenuation. This precept is
specially employed for generating fixed optical attenuator and a
few small variable optical attenuator.
B. Thin-film Optical Attenuator
This attenuator is created whilst using precept of sunshine
within the contemplated mild awareness of the top of metallic
thin movie film thickness. When the thickness from the metal
thin movie deposited around the glass substrate is sure,
fabricated from a hard and fast optical attenuator. Different
attenuation may be obtained if inner a exceptional thickness of
a disk-shaped metallic thin wax glass substrate, metallic skinny
film, so that inserted in the optical street to unique
thicknesses so that you can alter the intensity of the reflected
mild inside the optical fiber inserted obliquely deposited Cover
made from the variable attenuator.
C. Attenuation-sheet Optical Attenuator
Attenuation the chip kind optical attenuator at once constant
attenuator thru an absorption characteristic in the long run
surface of the optical fiber or maybe the optical direction to
reap the reason for the attenuation from the optical sign, this
manner cannot surely be used to supply a fixed optical
attenuator also can be used to supply the variable optical
attenuator.
Applications of Optical attenuators
A set optical attenuator fixed amount of attenuation of the
optical road to the sunshine energy is principally used for its
remarkable temperature traits. Within the commissioning from the
system, widely utilized in analog optical signal thru the
corresponding duration of optical fiber attenuation or reduce
the margin from the optical strength the relay station can also
be used to save you saturation from the optical receiver;
optical test tool calibration scaling. For different line
interface, you can use exclusive fixed attenuator; if the
interface is without a doubt a pigtail type available pigtail
type optical attenuator welded in the direction of the optical
route between the two sections of fiber; If you're debugging the
system connector interface converter or inverter-type constant
attenuator.
In sensible applications regularly require attenuation amount of
the optical attenuator can be modified the use of the user
needs. Therefore, a much wider range of making use of the
variable attenuator. For instance, EDFA, CATV optical machine
layout margin of the specific product is not quite the
identical, the optical strength margin of the gadget BER
assessment, to prevent the receiver is saturated, it have to be
inserted in the gadget variable optical attenuator, some other ,
fiber optics (together with a electricity meter or OTDR)
dimension, calibration will also make use of the variable
attenuator. From the perspective of market call for, on the one
hand, the optical attenuator improvement closer to
miniaturization, serialization, low charge course. However,
because of the common type optical attenuator, optical
attenuator is development path closer to excessive-performance,
clever optical attenuator, excessive return loss optical
attenuator.
