Luna si255 HYPERION Optical Sensing Instrument

Features

• Standard, High Speed and Enhanced Visibility models, each with an available depolarized source and up to 16 parallel channels
• Dynamic and absolute measurements of FBGs, LPGs, FP and MZ sensors from detailed optical spectrum
• Deep, continuous dynamic range is available to each sensor on each channel, independent of differential system losses
• Data verification key guarantees only valid output. Each data set is calibrated and verified against a permanent NIST traceable reference
• Proven reliability and longevity of the Micron Optics swept wavelength source, with over 100 million hours logged since 2000

Applications

• SHM for civil and geotechnical structures
• SHM for energy systems
• Structural test and model validation
• Process temperature monitoring

Details

The si255 features a high power, low noise, ultra-wide swept wavelength laser with guaranteed absolute accuracy on every scan, which is realized with Micron Optics patented Fiber Fabry-Perot filter and wavelength reference technology.

The HYPERION platform features groundbreaking capabilities including on-board, high-performance DSP and real-time FPGA processing. This enables rapid, full-spectrum data acquisition and flexible peak detect algorithms of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), Long Period Gratings (LPGs), Fabry-Perot (FP) and Mach-Zehnder (MZ) sensors.

The HYPERION platform is compatible with the ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software, which provides an integrated suite of tools for data acquisition, computation and analysis of optical sensor networks, and also includes a comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API)
