Screen and locate faulty events in short fiber optic networks with sub-mm resolution – an innovative solution to a very complex and labor-intensive testing process.

Reliable bonding and joining of thermoplastic materials is a challenging and critical requirement. New in-situ monitoring technologies, based on high-definition distributed fiber optic sensors, are being used to provide real-time data for improved closed-loop control for induction welders.

With the ever-growing demand for intelligent and autonomous systems, fiber optic sensing is becoming more essential as a test and measurement tool. High-definition fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS) in particular is a powerful measurement technology that is disrupting how many engineers measure strain and temperature. This webinar will provide you with a firm grasp of how HD-FOS works and how you can put it to use in your research, development or manufacturing processes.

High-definition fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS) delivers new cutting-edge measurement capabilities and data not available with other technologies. This webinar will provide an overview of how HD-FOS works, where it can be applied, and how Luna’s ODiSI system can provide unprecedented data and insight.

Luna is working on a research project in collaboration with NASA, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), and ILC Dover to develop an approach for structural health monitoring of inflatable space habitats using our innovative high-definition fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS). 

Luna’s Terahertz (THz) measurement solutions were featured in the March 2021 issue of the Journal of Blow Molding, a publication focused on the manufacturing process for forming and joining together hollow plastic parts such as used in forming bottles or other hollow shapes and containers.

In high-stakes environments such as aircraft, helicopters, submarines, and naval ships, robust communications and sensing systems are critical. When failures occur, having a rapid troubleshooting tool can be a game-changer. Luna Innovations meets these challenges with its OBR 6200 series of portable OFDR-based reflectometers.

This webinar describes how Luna's terahertz-based systems deliver real-time process measurements of multi-layer thickness and density that help manufacturers save raw materials and improve quality control.

Luna has optimized its ODiSI 6000 interrogator family and new sensor to drive next-level temperature profiling.

Why do customers choose FOS over electrical gages? In this post we unpack why fiber optic sensing has overtaken electrical sensors. While electrical sensors have been the industry standard for over 80 years, they have limitations that make them a sub-optimal choice for many applications in which fiber optic sensors excel.

Luna’s Corrosion Sensors Monitor Environment on Board Orion Spacecraft

Luna’s optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technology has facilitated PDV system development since the early days of PDV. The OBR 4600’s high spatial resolution reflectivity measurement and ability to characterize a complete optical path in one scan make it extremely useful as a diagnostic tool for PDV systems.

Luna announced that it has successfully designed, qualified, and built the RIO® narrow-linewidth semiconductor laser to be used in NASA's Navigation Doppler LiDAR system to safely land the next man and first woman on the moon in 2024.

Luna technology was used by an international team of astronomers who just measured Jupiter’s raging stratospheric winds for the very first time—and they used a 27-year-old comet to do it.

The recent release of Version 2.3.0 of the ODiSI application software continues the ongoing improvements in performance and functionality of the ODiSI high-definition distributed fiber optic sensing platform.  

In celebration of Earth Day this month, Luna is recognizing our Terahertz sensors and solutions including Luna’s T-Ray product.

Significant Multi-Unit Purchase Order for F-35

Luna Innovations along with our partner, Fabrisonic LLC, recently demonstrated SensePipe. SensePipe combines high-definition fiber optic sensors embedded into a section of piping using Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing technology allowing engineers to better understand fluid flow and the structural health of the piping in  rocket propulsion systems.

Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today announced that it has extended its existing relationship with Northrop Grumman by securing a new multi-year, multi-million-dollar agreement. The agreement includes an initial receipt of an over $3 million incremental, multi-unit purchase order for the OBR 6200 portable backscatter reflectometer.
