Abstract
An optical power attenuator includes: a MEMS package storing a MEMS element that can control a reflection angle of light by a mirror; a capillary member provided to one end of a two-core optical fiber that transmits the light and that has an end surface on a side that inputs/outputs the light to the two-core optical fiber tilted at a predetermined angle relative to an optical axis of the two-core optical fiber; and a lens that causes a light emitted from one of the optical fibers of the two-core optical fiber to become incident on the MEMS element via the capillary member and guides the reflected light reflected by the mirror of the MEMS element to the other optical fiber of the two-core optical fiber.
