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.

A beam splitter or beamsplitter is an optical device that splits a beam of light into a transmitted and a reflected beam. It is a crucial part of many optical experimental and measurement systems, such as interferometers, also finding widespread application in fibre optic telecommunications. DesignsIn its most common form, a cube, a beam splitter is made from two triangular glass which are glued together at their base using polyester,, or urethane-based adhesives.

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. MEMS VOA, which stands for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Variable Optical Attenuator, is a type of optical component that utilizes microelectromechanical systems technology to precisely control the intensity of an optical signal. Bulk attenuators can operate based on several principles, such as filter wheels with neutral density filters, rotated.

Liquid crystal modulators are a type of optical modulator which utilize liquid crystals to control the intensity, phase, or polarization of light. Nematic liquid crystals are birefringent materials whose effective birefringence can be changed by varying an applied voltage. The attenuator circuit will allow a known source of power to be reduced by a predetermined factor, which is usually expressed as decibels.
