Abstract
We present variable fiber optical attenuator based on shaped and
metal-coated liquid core optical fiber filled with index matching liquid.
Variable attenuation of 60 dB was achieved by thermo-optical effect, where
focused laser beam with optical power of 2 mW was used as a local heating
source. Dynamic response shows rise time of 30 ms.
