摘要： A conductive substrate supports an array of multi-channel optical attenuating devices. Each attenuating device includes a membrane with an optically transparent portion And a flexible support for positioning the optically transparent portion of the membrane spaced from the substrate for defining an air gap. The air gap constitutes a cross-shaped gap-chamber having a horizontally and vertically elongated chambers extended from a central intersection area functioning as an optical active area. A voltage bias circuit applies an electrical bias between the conductive substrate and the membrane to adjust and control an air-gap thickness at the optical active area between the conductive substrate and the membrane. Each of the devices can be manufactured on the same silicon wafer using the same process and can be individually controlled to accommodate different wavelength attenuation at each channel. Production costs, and time and efforts required for aligning the array to optical fibers are also reduced.
