New Luna Innovations Product Demonstrations from OFC 2020

Featuring Luna's advanced fibre optic sensing, silicon photonics, 100G/400G coherent technology, accelerating manufacturing test equipment.

Luna Innovations presented their comprehensive range of solutions for photonic test, measurement and control during at OFC 2020. OFC, which took place March 8-12 in San Diego, is the world’s largest conference and exhibition for optical communications and networking professionals.

The new 6200 and 6400 Series units provide field characterisation and high-precision measurement of optical fiber using OFDR technology.

Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) technology measures distributed return loss (RL) and insertion loss (IL) with high precision and dynamic range.
