matrIQ-VOA

High-bandwidth, Broadband Optical-to-electrical Converter

Coherent Solutions’ matrIQ-VOA is a variable optical attenuator with fast attenuation speed, low insertion loss and and in-built power meter.

Its advanced power stabilization function lets you set and maintain the output power stability even when the input power fluctuates. matrIQ-VOA is available in a range of wavelengths to suit a wide range of applications.

Its stackable, space-saving design and intuitive software controls make it a valued addition to the optical lab or test bench.

Key Features

• Fast attenuation speed: Minimizes the down time during changes in attenuation settings to shorten your overall test time
• Built in power monitoring capability: Eliminate the need for an extra power meter with the built-in power monitoring capability. Know the actual power coming out of the attenuator all from the matrIQ-VOA.
• Various conversion gain options allow you to easily measure low power, high speed optical signals.
• Constant power output mode: With the built-in closed-loop power monitoring, matrIQ-VOA can operate in the constant power output mode to stabilize fluctuating input power.
• Wide coverage of operational wavelengths
• Simple, intuitive operation with cohesionUI: cohesionUI makes it simple to control matrIQ-OSA from your PC or mobile device. Its cuttingedge design offers a sleek modern interface, cross device compatibility, customizable views and remote network access.
• Ultra compact and flexible form factor: Housed in a compact and robust metallic case, its extremely small footprint helps you make the most of your available bench space.
• USB or LAN operation
• Excellent measurement correlation with our optical PXI modules: Shared product architecture lets you validate your system and test requirements in the lab with matrIQ-OSA, and scale up to high volume automated production testing with the OSAPXIe module.
