KEY FEATURES AND PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
•
Reduce material costs with inexpensive optical fiber
sensors
•
Save time and labor by instrumenting many sensing
locations using a single optical fiber
•
Interrogate entire fiber and all sensing locations with a
single scan
•
Control sensor locations and gage lengths in software
•
Measure temperature or strain with a single fiber
•
Realize industry-leading measurement range and
repeatability with extraordinary spatial resolution
•
Measurement ranges of ± 13,000 µStrain, -50 to
300 °C
•
Repeatability of ± 2 µStrain, ± 0.2 °C
•
Sub-centimeter spatial resolution
•
Maximum sensing length of 50 meters
The Luna
ODiSI A
saves test time and cost while
adding an unprecedented spatial resolution to sensing
measurements. Utilizing swept-wavelength
interferometry, the ODiSI A simultaneously interrogates
thousands of sensing locations along a single
unaltered, inexpensive optical fiber. With a 50 meter
maximum sensing length and sub-centimeter spatial
resolution, the ODiSI A is the paramount tool for a
variety of applications.
APPLICATIONS
•
Load, fatigue, and mechanical testing
•
Composite manufacturing and engineering
•
Embedded sensing
•
Temperature profile characterization
•
Structural Health Monitoring
•
Model and simulation validation
Demonstration of the ODiSI A recording distributed strain of an
optical fiber bonded to the top and bottom surfaces of a
cantilevered aluminum beam. Shown above with sensor spacing of
5 mm, each sensor with a 1-cm gage length.
The Luna ODiSI A (Optical Distributed
Sensor Interrogator) delivers fully distributed
strain and temperature measurements with
sub-cm spatial resolution.
