42. Distributed Temperature and Strain Measurements 9/7/2011
    Adding Luna Technologies' Distributed Temperature and Strain Sensing Software upgrade to the Optical Backscatter Reflectometer™ (OBR) transforms standard telecom-grade fiber into a high spatial-resolution strain and temperature sensor. The ability to use standard telecom-grade fiber eliminates the need for expensive specialty fibers usually necessary for precise measurements.
43. High-Resolution Temperature and Strain Measurements: ODiSI (Optical Distributed Sensor Interrogator) 8/8/2011
    Luna Technologies’ Optical Distributed Sensor Interrogator, ODiSI, is a new sensing product capable of providing fully distributed temperature and strain measurements data by using optical fiber as a continuous sensor. The ODiSI gathers data along the entire surface and allows the user to redefine the sensing point post processing. These features, not available with traditional static point sensors, provide advantages to industries where precise temperature and strain measurements are necessary for structural or mechanical testing.

45. High-Reliability Power Supplies 6/10/2011

    Excelitas Technologies is a leader in the design and manufacture of high-reliability power supplies that provide mission-critical power to a wide range of demanding electronic systems used in airborne, shipboard, ground and space-based platforms. Our power supplies are designed and manufactured to meet the most stringent customer specifications and the harshest defense environments including survival in natural and man-made radiation environments.

46. OFDR for Diagnostics in Avionics & Aerospace Fiber Networks 5/13/2011
    Luna Technologies' Optical Backscatter Reflectometer™ (OBR) 4200 is the industry's only portable, ultra-high resolution reflectometer with backscatter-level sensitivity designed to test short networks. In a small, rugged, easily transportable platform, the OBR 4200 provides the capability to "see" any event in a fiber assembly or network out to 500 meters with no dead-zone and millimeter resolution. The OBR 4200 offers unprecedented, field-portable diagnostics capabilities to manufacturers and installers of fiber optic modules and short-run networks.
47. Precision Hot Mirrors For Heat Control 2/23/2011

    Heat control filters are a type of dichroic filter that is used to remove unwanted energy (heat) emitted from a light source. Abrisa Technologies, ZC&R Coatings for Optics division provides precision hot mirrors for medical, aerospace/defense, entertainment, life sciences, digital photography, and a host of other industrial applications.

48. Custom Coatings For Avionics Displays 2/22/2011

    Precision Glass & Optics (PG&O), global experts in optical manufacturing and precision thin film coatings, has designed and developed custom optical filters for PRP Optoelectronics, the largest independent manufacturer of LED-based display technology.

49. SWIR Camera For UAVs 8/31/2010

    Sensors Unlimited – A part of Collins Aerospace has introduced the smallest SWaP (size weight and power) short wave infrared camera for unmanned vehicles. The 640 x 512 pixel (25µm pitch) camera weighs 120g (less than four and a half ounces) with the 23mm f/1.15 lens, providing a 40-degree field of view. The <4.9 cubic inch total volume allows it to easily fit on board most unmanned aerial or ground vehicle systems (UAS or UGS). Currently the low-SWaP camera is installed in the nose cone of a Raven hand-launched unmanned aerial system.

50. Shape Sensing Technology / 3D Shape Sensing Video Demonstration 3/11/2010
    Luna's shape sensing optical fiber knows its own position in 3D space at every discrete point along its length and can be used to track the exact position of an object to which it is attached.
