Protodel reckons it will set a new standard in the design, development and delivery of variable optical attenuators (VOAs) next week when it launches its Mark III product at the OFC Conference in Anaheim, California Based on network designer feedback from the successful MkI and MkII devices, the Mark III is the only all-fibre attenuator to cover the crucial channel wavelength C, L and S bands in a single unit

It has been designed specifically to meet the increased optical power needs of the market and also the requirements of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union).

It will form the first building block of an integrated functionality multi channel family of power control modules from ProtoDel.

It can be see at Booth 4945.

"As power increases so the need for channel levelling and balancing becomes even more acute", said Dr Ian Giles, CEO and founder of ProtoDel.

The main features of the Mark III include: noninvasive operation - the optical path is not interrupted; continuous analogue control to 30 or 50dB; high power handling (+25dBm); low insertion loss (0.4dB including PDL); low PDL; small footprint; and near zero back reflection (-70dB).
