Luna’s RIO Lasers developed proprietary PLANEX technology specifically to address the needs of optical sensing and meteorology where high coherence length and low noise are critical enabling specifications. In this second post of a 2-part series, we examine the performance further and examples of outcomes.
Luna’s fiber-optic-based distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system and OptaSense OS6™ real-time visualization software were deployed along the slurry line from a remote mining zone to a port hundreds of kilometers away.
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.
The growing threat of global climate change and adoption of “Net Zero” initiatives has forced countries to find alternatives to emitting CO2 in the atmosphere. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only industrial large-scale solution currently available across multiple industries.
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.
With increasing deterioration of civil infrastructure around the world, rapid setting epoxy concrete resins offer an attractive emerging technology for maintaining roadways, bridges, and commercial buildings. Luna's high-definition fiber optic monitoring is enabling key measurements for physical attributes such as strain and temperature to quantify fatigue life characterization.
High-definition distributed sensing (HD-FOS), combined with rugged Nerve-Sensors, tackle the challenge of detecting cracks and monitoring the structural health of bridges and critical infrastructure assets. Learn more about this solution for structural preventative and monitoring efforts.
Through continuous monitoring of stress, strain, cracks, displacement, tilt and vibration, fiber optic sensing systems can provide advanced warning of growing structural problems and reduce the risk of failure. By leveraging the many benefits of fiber optic sensing, these systems can remotely monitor critical structures affordably and reliably.
Luna has expanded the capabilities of the HYPERION fiber optic sensing platform with the addition of a family of high-temperature multipoint probes ideal for industrial applications.
