Ortel Demonstrates Industry's Highest Launch Power for 1550 nm Applications
Los Angeles, CA. - Ortel Corp. (Nasdaq: ORTL) today demonstrated its newest Medallion Transmitter, launching 18 dBm optical power into long-distance fiberoptic link. The high launch power available with the 1550 nm externally modulated transmitter provides dramatic improvements in carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) over longer distance fiber links.
"Recent advances in our internally developed source lasers have enabled Ortel to optimize the Medallion Transmitter to provide the highest optical launch power," said Jeff Rittichier, Ortel s vice president of marketing. "Improved CNR is critical to our customers because it provides better signal quality and reduces network deployment costs."
Ortel is conducting a live system demonstration during the 1999 Western Show, December 15-17, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, in Ortel s booth number 3113.
