Luna Technologies' Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) delivers unprecedented inspection and diagnostic capabilities for the fiber optics industry. With the OBR Desktop Analysis Software, you gain the power of the OBR at your desk. After saving your OBR measurements, view them at your desk, in a conference room, on vacation, or send it to your customers for their viewing. The OBR's industry-leading 40 micron spatial resolution with zero dead zone will pinpoint even the smallest contributors to loss: bends, crimps, bad splices, you name it — we find it. Discover what you don’t know about your component and what the Luna Technologies’ OBR desktop analysis software can do for you.

Advantages:

• High resolution OTDR - Resolve individual features with spatial resolution down to 40 microns.
• High sensitivity - 70 dB of dynamic range and -125 dB sensitivity.
• Single Connection IL and RL - Measure insertion and return loss in a single scan.
• Locate loss events - Monitor backscatter levels to isolate losses due to bends, crimps, bad splices, etc.
• “Look inside” devices - Use powerful windowing feature to interrogate individual components within a subsystem.
• Polarization Tracking - Track changes in the state-of-polarization as light propagates through an optical network.
• Intuitive graphical interface - All key data and graphs in a simple, easy to use interface.
• Data at your desktop - enables you to share with customers, use in group meetings away from the lab, or even take it on vacation.

Applications:

• Optical subsystem production and verification for amplifier modules, Tx/Rx circuit packs and line cards, laser and modulator packages.
• Single connection optical switch verification.
• Assembly verification including splice and connector location and fidelity management.
• Full system design verification and analysis that can discriminate between individual devices, connectors, fibers, splices and components.
• Component qualification - Incoming inspection and rapid testing of individual optical components.
• Troubleshooting of optical systems and modules during development and production.
• Failure analysis of devices and subassemblies.
• Ultra-high resolution OTDR.
