The POA attenuator could be connected via the network or USB interface, parameters on it could be easily checked. The device attenuation value could be automatically or randomly set by the open API interface programming. By adopting Dimension's universal test platform, one can build an automated test and production environment by integrate light sources, optical power meters, optical switches and other test modules,it’s especially suitable automated production lines and other automated test systems.
High integration, high attenuation accuracy, wide attenuation range, and support for cascading function
POA series provide 1.00dB~50dB wide range attenuation, supporting four channels simultaneous attenuation, two-channel cascade the attenuation can higher than 100 dB, minimum attenuation is only 0.01dB. The attenuation range and attenuation accuracy can meet most research institutions and manufacturing requirements.
Wide wavelength range, support arbitrary wavelength attenuation
Support arbitrary wavelength input among singlemode 1250nm~1650nm，multimode 830nm~1350nm. The device has been calibrated for attenuation under different wavelengths, any wavelength among above ranges is verified with accurate attenuation.
Various control modes
Dimension POA series attenuators, support decrement, increment and automatic programming control of fixed attenuation values and time delays, to meet different needs of users. The equipments adopt safe and reliable industrial design for 24/7 operation, not need any additional manual maintenance, it’s an ideal equipment for automatic rapid testing systems.
Platform + module design, high scalability
Dimension's universal optical test platform provides a whole set optical test solution, it includes a dual-slot ALPHA test platform and an 11-slot OMEGA test platform, which is compatible with a wide range of functional test modules such as POA dimmable attenuation.
