Abstract

A digital closed‐loop controlled variable optical attenuator (VOA) module using an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chip for optical‐power‐fluctuation suppression is demonstrated in this paper. A VOA based on transparent electro‐optical ceramic, OptoCeramic® PLZT, is used to provide high‐speed optical power control. With logarithm amplifiers and A‐D‐A feedback circuitry, this VOA module could be designed to operate as either an attenuator or a power controller. The module can be used to filter out the optical power fluctuation up to 300 kHz. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A novel variable optical attenuator (VOA) based on high‐birefringence (HiBi) fiber‐loop mirror is proposed. The HiBi fiber‐loop mirror is put into the temperature‐controlling box. As the temperature increases, the transmission spectrum shifts with nearly unaltered shape. The attenuation
