説明

We demonstrated a submillisecond response time and low-voltage variable optical attenuator (VOA) using a dual-frequency liquid crystal. The dynamic range of the VOA reaches 43 dB at a 1.55 μm wavelength. A normally on VOA with a flat wavelength response is obtained using a phase compensation cell. Fast rise and decay times are achieved using low-frequency overdrive and high-frequency undershoot voltages. Other approaches to further improve the VOA’s performances are discussed.
