David Robinson,
Founder and CEO of Arden Photonics
We help optical fiber manufacturers to make better optical fibers for a better tomorrow.



David Robinson started Arden Photonics in Birmingham, UK, in September 2001, aiming at providing the best fiber measurement solutions to the World’s largest optical fiber makers.
One of the most recognised products of Arden was launched. Now, the MPX is almost a must-have measurement instrument for any optical fiber research and development centres and manufacturers.
The Modcon turns any optical light source into an EF compliant source, making it a very popular product in the optical fiber measurement industry.
Arden Photonics moved its office and production facility to Royston House in Solihull, England.
Arden's subsidiary in the US was established in Clearwater in Florida to provide better service to the American market.
A revolutionary product to enable quick and low cost measurement of the refractive index profile of optical fibers to increase production yield.
With the new US office in Orlando and the new US office manager, Arden is committed to delivering exceptional service to American customers.
The next-generation Encircled Flux Meter MPX-1A revolutionises multimode network validation with newly integrated automatic features and advanced CMOS camera technology. The MPX-1A delivers fast, precise, consistent, and user-independent measurement results, setting a new benchmark for the industry.
The launch of the FGC Array Fiber Geometry System, setting a new benchmark in the precise measurement of fiber array units (FAUs).
