Optical Backscatter Reflectometry
Luna Technologies’ Optical Backscatter Reflectometers (OBR) measure reflections (less than 0.0003 parts per billion) in an optical system as a function of length with spatial resolution less than 10 microns. Industry-leading 10 micron spatial resolution with zero dead-zone will pinpoint even the smallest contributors to loss: bends, crimps, bad splices, with a range up to 2000 meters. The OBR performs single-scan measurement of Insertion Loss and Return Loss through a single connection with - 70 dB dynamic range and -130 dB sensitivity.
A portable version of the Luna OBR, the OBR-4200, is particularly well adapted for fault location in naval and avionics fiber installations.
Benchtop OBR 4600
The OBR 4600 is the latest model of Luna Technologies’ award winning Optical Backscatter Reflectometer™ product line. Designed for component and short-run network testing and troubleshooting, the OBR 4600 enables ultra-high resolution reflectometry with backscatter-level sensitivity. With spatial resolution as fine as 10 microns, zero dead-zone, options for integrated temperature and strain sensing and extended device length mode, the OBR 4600 offers the ultimate in fiber diagnostics.
