Ibsen Photonics has released a new, extended wavelength version of its I-Mon interrogation monitor
The interrogation monitor builds on Ibsen high-resolution spectrometer technology, using Ibsen fused silica transmission gratings. This design platform enables Ibsen's I-MON to offer fast measurement frequency and compact size as well as low power consumption. I-MON Product Manager Bjarke Rose explains: 'Our I-MON interrogation monitor modules have been deployed in the field for over 4 years, and so the I-MON has already been embraced by this growing market that we have designed the I-MON for'.
He adds: 'So far we have targeted the I-MON for OEM applications, and our customers have used our developer's kit to test the performance against their FBG sensors'.
'Our customers have expressed an interest in higher resolution, stand-alone monitors with a USB interface for easy setup with a laptop - a need which we are meeting with this new product'.
Torben Jacobsen, President and CEO of Ibsen, adds: 'This new I-MON development draws from the broad spectrometer competencies that lie in our OEM spectrometer business; this is an example of how our spectrometer and grating technologies are drawn on to match the needs of fibre optic sensing applications with high-performing and cost-effective interrogation solutions'.
Ibsen will be presenting its I-MON products at the OFC exhibition from 7th to 9th March 2006 in Anaheim, as well as at other important sensing and photonics conferences throughout the year.
