Dear All, If anyone could give me a recommendation and manufacturers name for a commercial variable optical attenuator, I would be very grateful. I am looking for a cheap commercial optical attenuator for use in the visible (Ar-ion laser, 488 nm or 512 nm, 2W cw). Thank you for your time, Best regards....
