Luna Technologies, a division of Luna Innovations Incorporated, announces the expansion of its fiber optic test and measurement platform with the release of the Precision Reflectometer(TM) 4400 (PR(TM) 4400). This portable, user-friendly instrument is a state-of-the-art tool for measuring reflections as a function of distance in an optical component or assembly.
The PR 4400 is the industry's state-of-the-art tool for measuring optical reflections as a function of distance.
In a single sweep, the system gives the user unprecedented optical-module inspection and diagnostic capabilities by providing the ability to locate and troubleshoot connectors, fiber breaks and more. The PR(TM) 4400 features resolution as low as 40 microns and the ability to view an entire assembly up to 2 kilometers in one scan with zero dead zone.
"The precision reflectometer has been a mainstay in fiber labs and manufacturing floors for years. Unfortunately, the base technology has not changed much in the last two decades, rendering the technique limited in today's environment," comments Dr. Brian Soller, President of Luna Innovations' Products Division, which includes the award-winning Luna Technologies line of test and measurement products. "The PR(TM) 4400 is a next-generation precision reflectometer designed to overcome those limitations offering industry-leading micrometer spatial resolution, increased measurement range, high speed measurements, ease of use and a cost-effective price point."
The PR(TM) 4400 comes configured with an integrated internal tunable laser source and a laptop. The product is available immediately, with delivery in six to eight weeks.
