Apex AP3364 Optical Variable Attenuators Modules
These are cost effective and high performance optical variable attenuators. The modules are available as a single variable optical attenuator or a double variable optical attenuator. They combine 30 dB of maximal attenuation range (per variable attenuator) with a minimum attenuation step (resolution) of 0.1 dB.
The AP3364 Optical Variable Attenuator module could be combined with AP3314 power meter modules in the platform. Thanks to the attenuation settings, the power meters permit an active power control to keep output power constant.
The display menu of the AP3364 optical variable attenuators allows an overview of any other AP1000 modules. The operational parameters are easily accessed using mnemonic symbols, and simple prompts provide user-friendly operations.
