Nano VOA is a VOA product family using the MEMS chip
with a movable mirror on the silicon. The mirror attenuates
the laser light power by coupling the input beam onto the
output fiber. The applied voltage to the device controls the
mirror tilt angle, thus the desired attenuation amount.
The Nano VOA is the smallest VOA product with identical
performance and durability as other VOA products.
