Description
The sm130 Optical Sensing Interrogator meets the growing demand for fast interrogation of fiber optic sensors in harsh environments. This versatile instrument can interrogate up to 500 sensors simultaneously on up to 4 fibers at 1kHz. With the Micron Optics sm041-416 channel expansion unit, the sensor count can be quadrupled. The result is a single system that can measure both dynamic and static phenomena for large complex structures. Strain measurements are the most common sm130 application, but the system is equally capable of measuring acceleration, pressure and temperature.
The small, accurate, powerful and economical sm130 combines an industrial PC with Micron Optics' robust, high-power, low-noise swept laser source in a single rugged package. Micron Optics instruments are installed in hundreds of harsh applications around the world from oil platforms in Brunei to marine vessels in the North Sea to tunnels in Japan.
