EigenLight Announces a High Performance Inline Optical Tap Monitor

14 Mar 2013

Somersworth, NH – EigenLight Corporation is excited to announce the launch of its new Series 100 High Performance (SRHP100) inline optical tap monitor. The SRHP100 Optical Tap is an extension of EigenLight’s advanced Series 100 Optical Tap product line with a higher directivity and reduced polarization stability. This gives the design engineer of optical networking subsystems advanced capabilities that can be used to monitor and control the optical power within an optical network.

EigenLight’s High Performance Series 100 inline optical tap monitor has the lowest loss, highest directivity and lowest PDL on the market. This allows the SRHP100 to be used in the most demanding networks (40G, 100G, 400G and 1T coherent systems) without compromising the quality of the transmission signal. By capitalizing on EigenLight’s patented optical tap technology, the high directivity (>35 dB) of the SRHP100 allows it to be used in monitoring individual counter propagating signals of an FTTX network accurately without compromising the other signals. The low loss and low PDL makes the SRHP100 ideal for EDFAs and Raman Amplifiers where several optical taps are cascaded together and minimizing loss and PDG is important.

“By using our advanced manufacturing processes, we are able to modify the parameters of our optical tap to achieve the high directivity while controlling PDL and insertion loss”, states Kevin Lefebvre, Ph.D., Director of Business Development. “This allows the SRHP100 to be used in the utmost sensitive systems to monitor the optical power without influencing the transmitted signal.” EigenLight will be featuring the new High Performance Series 100 Inline Optical Tap at their OFC booth # 1229, March 19th-21st.

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.
