Summary:A variable optical attenuator in micro-electro-mechanical systems includes a moving shutter for attenuating the energy of a light entering the attenuator, a first optical fiber transversely located on one side of the moving shutter with a first inclined surface facing the shutter, and a second optical fiber transversely located on the other side of the moving shutter with a second inclined surface facing the shutter. The second optical fiber and the first optical fiber are parallel to each other with a space and a shift on the same plane.
