    Boston Applied Technologies' EclipseTM series of Variable Optical Attenuator Array (ArrayVOA) is designed for multi-channel optical power adjustment. Based on OptoCeramic® electro-optic technology, the ArrayVOA enables all solid state high-speed performance. BATI's ArrayVOA contains no moving parts and offers high speed, low insertion loss, low Polarization Dependence Loss (PDL), and a wide dynamic range. BATI's advanced micro-optical design also enables hybrid integration for space and cost savings and performance enhancement.
