Luna’s HYPERION Single Board Interrogator is a high-performance optical sensing instrument that offers unmatched ease of integration for OEM systems. A full suite of software tools typically only available to high end instruments is among one of the many features of the HYPERION Single Board Interrogator.

Derived from Luna’s HYPERION si155 platform, the HYPERION Single Board Interrogator leverages the unmatched gains which are realized with Luna’s patented fiber Fabry-Perot filter and wavelength reference technology.

The HYPERION Single Board Interrogator features groundbreaking capabilities including high-performance DSP and real-time FPGA processing on-board, which enables rapid, flexible peak detect algorithms of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), Long Period Gratings, Fabry-Perot (FP), Mach-Zehnder (MZ) sensors, and others with low-latency access to data for closed-loop feedback applications.

HYPERION static full-spectrum optical interrogators measure the full optical spectrum of the optical sensor signals and can be equipped with a NIST absolute reference cell. The performance of the static interrogator module is characterized by high dynamic range and high absolute wavelength accuracy.

The HYPERION Single Board Interrogator is compatible with the ENLIGHT sensing analysis software, which provides a single suite of tools for data acquisition, computation and analysis of optical sensor networks. More information on the ENLIGHT software can be found in the downloadable datasheet. This interrogator also includes a comprehensive application programing interface (API) and examples written in LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, C++ and C#.

Whether an application requires static or dynamic real-time acquisition or periodic monitoring, Luna offers the right instrument for the job. Proven to be an essential element in reliable, long-term sensing measurement installations, Luna’s sensing instruments have been installed in hundreds of challenging applications all over the world, including large-span bridges in China, earthquake monitors in California, oil platforms in Brunei and marine vessels in the North Sea.
