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.

Fibogain ERFA EDFA Modules
Erbium-doped; 1530-1560 nm; Output Power ≥17 dBm; Signal Gain ≥25 dB; Return Loss -60 dB; Polarization Sensitivity 0.07 dB; Isolation 40 dB; Module or Instrument Form Factor Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibogain ERFA series of EDFA modules and instruments make use of the optical gain in an Erbium-doped fiber that is pumped by either 980 nm or 1480 nm light sources. Thus, incoming light of a longer wavelength in the C- or L-band is amplified and enhances the transmission span of fiber optic links. EDFAs typically operate in saturation, and the average power of a signal determines the average gain. Bit to bit dynamics or inter-channel crosstalk in DWDM-systems do not change the dynamics of an EDFA. This also enables the amplification of channel-bundles within the entire emission wavelength range of Erbium superimposing simple single-channel links. The average output power in both cases is determined by the saturation power of the specific EDFA design however. The majority of EDFAs is applied in fiberoptic links. Other applications can also be found - mainly in fiberoptic test & measurement setups and other instruments that include eye-safe free space measurement installations.
