Optofluidic Chip of a Single-Mode Fiber Variable Optical Attenuator

An optofluidic chip of the single-mode fiber variable optical attenuator (VOA) is proposed. This chip has a simple structure, and it utilizes microfluid and air to regulate the optical attenuation, where air acts as a shutter. Here, the single-mode characteristics of the VOA chip are discussed at 13...
