An optical attenuator, or fiber optic attenuator, is a device used to reduce the power level of an optical signal, either in free space or in an optical fiber. The basic types of optical attenuators are fixed, step-wise variable, and continuously variable. The power reduction is done by such means as absorption, reflection, diffusion, scattering, deflection, diffraction, and dispersion, etc.

Fiber optic attenuators are passive devices used to reduce the power or intensity of an optical signal in a fiber optic communication system. In addition, the system margin needs to be factored in—this covers fiber bending loss and. Assemble all necessary tools and equipment, such as a fiber cleaver, fusion splicer, optical power meter, and connector cleaning tools.

Optical attenuators are commonly used in, either to test power level margins by temporarily adding a calibrated amount of signal loss, or installed permanently to properly match transmitter and receiver levels. Attenuators enable the fine-tuning of adjustable signal power and ensure that the signal power reaching the receiver is within its dynamic range, preventing saturation and maintaining the signal-to-noise ratio. In the realm of fiber optic communication systems, the installation and adjustment of optical attenuators can sometimes present a challenge. Signal levels must be strong enough for data interpretation but not so strong as to damage the circuits in the receiver.
