14 Mar 2013 Somersworth, NH – EigenLight Corporation is excited to announce the launch of its Inline Series 100 Optical Tap Monitor Array (SA100) product line. The SA100 Optical Tap Array product line is an extension of EigenLight’s advanced Series 100 Optical Tap, integrating several optical taps into one compact package and at a low price. This gives the design engineer the capability to reduce the size of their design without compromising performance or price. The SA100 Optical Tap Monitor Array comes standard in 4, 8 or 12 optical fiber configurations but can be configured in customized fiber counts.
EigenLight’s SA100 product line uses EigenLight’s patented optical tap technology, where the transmitted light remaining within the optical fiber, along with advanced manufacturing processes to integrate the optical tap with a photodetector. This produces a low loss, high directivity and low PDL optical power monitor that can be used in the most advanced optical networking subsystem without compromising the quality of service of the network. Furthermore, the integration of the optical tap and the photodetector into one package decreases manufacturing, supply chain and component cost while reducing the size of the optical subsystem. For optical networking subsystems such as EDFAs, Raman Amplifiers, Wavelength Selection Switches and ROADMs, where several optical taps can be used for monitoring and control, integrating several optical taps into one package (SA100) will reduce the cost of designing and manufacturing the subsystems. Kevin Lefebvre, Ph.D., Director of Business Development at EigenLight, states that “packaging several optical taps into one package along with the superior specifications of the SA100 allows optical networking subsystem manufacturers to reduce the cost of their systems while maintaining a high standard of performance. This is especially important as optical networks move through 100G and onto 1T.”
EigenLight will be featuring the new Series 100 Optical Tap Array at their OFC booth # 1229, March 19th-21st. The SA100 product line comes in Single Mode, Multi-mode or Polarization Maintaining Fiber configurations.
EigenLight specializes in low-loss, low PDL and high directivity inline fiber optic power monitoring equipment and components that provide in-line measurement of the optical power for a wide-range of fiber optic applications. This includes Long Haul, Metro, FTTX and Data Center Optical Performance Monitoring as well as power monitoring within optical networking subsystems, fiber lasers and medical laser systems. EigenLight, from its inception in 1996, has manufactured over 100,000 inline optical taps and power monitors at its headquarters in Somersworth, New Hampshire, US.
