Blacksburg, VA – Luna Technologies’ Optical Backscatter
Reflectometer (OBR) receives more accolades with a 2006 “Best
in Test” award from the editors of Test & Measurement World
magazine. This failure analysis tool offers unprecedented
diagnostic capabilities to the manufacturers of fiber-optic components
and assemblies.
The OBR is a true high-resolution OTDR designed
specifically for qualifying fiber components, modules and cables assemblies
for telecomunications,
avionics/military-aerospace, and fiber-sensing applications.
Using the OBR, designers and manufacturers can peer into the heart
of optical components, modules and assemblies to measure minute reflections
with 125 dB sensitivity, 70 dB dynamic range and a measurement up
to 450 meters with sub-millimeter resolution and zero dead-zone. Fast,
accurate measurement improves product quality and reduces test-time
and down-time.
The applications of the OBR cover a number of segments in the product
development life cycle including failure analysis, system design verification,
component qualification, and troubleshooting. The user-friendly device
has multi-functional capabilities reducing the cost of investment
in additional equipment.
