Manufacturer "Luna"

Headquartered in Roanoke, VA, USA, Luna develops, manufactures and markets high-definition fiber optic sensing products and fiber optic test and measurement instrumentation . Luna's products are used to measure, monitor, protect and improve critical processes in the healthcare, telecommunications, energy and defense markets. Luna has become a recognized leader in transitioning science to solutions. Luna’s high-definition fiber optic sensing technology allows engineers to test, modify and qualify their designs; efficiently, effectively, and accurately. The HYPERION series of fiber optic sensing interrogators provide many of the advantages of fiber optic systems and distinguishes itself by virtue of high spatial resolution. On the test and measurement side, Luna provides diagnostic and test instrumentation that enables the complete characterization of optical components, assemblies and short-haul networks; providing substantial cost and time savings in the development, production, and maintenance of optical network equipment. Optical backscatter reflectometers (OBR series) enable ultra-high resolution reflectometry with backscatter level sensitivity, while lightwave component and optical vector analyzers extend Luna’s industry-leading optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) platform to manufacturing test and quality control applications for passive optical components.
