Protodel to Demo Power Monitor

HACKBRIDGE, Surrey, U.K. -- A WORLD first in power monitor technology - the key to measuring and controlling fiber optic signals - is to be unveiled by UK-based ProtoDel at next month's flagship optical communications event, OFC in Anaheim, California. ProtoDel's non-invasive in-line Power Monitor is the only product of its type in the world and uniquely it operates solely within the evanescent field of the optical transmission, allowing the optical signal to pass uninterrupted and therefore allowing record low loss and back reflection performance. "This is a key milestone for the industry and for the successful monitoring of ever more complex and high capacity optical communication systems," said Dr Ian Giles, CEO and founder of ProtoDel. "This device not only marks a breakthrough in not interfering with the original signal but replaces the need for other components such as couplers, taps and detectors. It has also smashed all the current records for low signal loss".ProtoDel International Ltd.
