June 26, 2002 — MegaSense Inc. said it has launched a MEMS-based variable optical attenuator (VOA) array module for photonic systems.
The module, based on the VOA MegaSense introduced in March, is designed to reduce the parts count in optical networks and testing manufacturing steps. MEMS help to boost system integration and bring down costs, according to a company news release.
MegaSense said the arrays can support multiple configurations and can offer a variety of features, depending on customers’ needs.
