Series 100
Inline Optical Tap Monitor
EigenLight’s Series 100 Fiber Optic Tap Power Monitors
are used for in-line measurement of power in optical fiber. A miniature,
hermetic package houses a stable optical tap and PIN photodiode.
EigenLight’s patented process maintains fiber continuity, avoiding
lenses or partial reflectors. This provides exceptional performance and
reliability for the most demanding power measurement applications.
