摘要
In this paper, a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) variable optical attenuator (VOA) based on Norland Optical Adhesive73 (NOA73) material has been designed and fabricated. At 1550 nm wavelength, the insertion loss of the VOA was measured to be about 8.1 dB. The developed VOA exhibited ultra-low power consumption of 1.96 mW and high optical attenuation of -29.3 dB. When the attenuation at 1550 nm wavelength was -24.6 dB, the spectral variation was +/- 2.5 dB within wavelength range of 1510 nm to 1590 nm. The rise and fall times of the device were 1.7 ms and 1.3 ms, respectively.
