The variable wheel attenuator consists of 5 wheels. Four wheels contain metalized wedged silicon wafers with different attenuation levels and one wheel is empty. If necessary the empty wheel can be filled with a custom element (e.g. filter). Four attenuators have transmission 30%, 10%, 3%, and 1%. These attenuator elements can be used as a single attenuator or in combination that allows achieving different levels of attenuation.
