Silicon photonics based VOAs (variable optical attenuators) have been manufactured for the past several years in quantities of 100,000s per year. How do the lessons of high-volume VOA production apply to 100Gb/s transceivers as the volumes also scale beyond 100k per year?
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
