Problems solved by technology

There are flat plate type and comb type drive structures. The flat type is difficult to achieve linear control, and the comb teeth need to overlap up and down. The processing of the upper and lower comb teeth involves alignment and isolation issues, so the process is relatively complicated. If the comb teeth are concentrated on one side, May cause structural asymmetry, easy to lose balance

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an attenuator and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a unidirectional twisted high-balance variable optical attenuator and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Variable Optical Attenuator (abbreviated as: VOA) is an important fiber optic passive device in optical network. It is a key component of optical amplifier and plays a key role in power balance in optical fiber communication system. Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS for short) variable optical attenuator has reliable performance, compact structure, low cost, easy mass production, and has broad development prospects. The current MEMS optical attenuator mainly has a micromirror structure, and the up and down deflection of the micromirror is realized through electrostatic drive. There are flat plate type and comb type drive structures. The flat type is difficult to achieve linear control, and the comb teeth need to overlap up and dow...
