Luna Innovations Optical Backscatter Reflectometer OBR 4600

Description
The Luna OBR 4600 is part of Luna’s award winning Optical Backscatter ReflectometerTM product line. For strain and temperature sensing applications the OBR 4600 offers the user the highest degree of flexibility in customizing measurements to the application as well as the longest available sensing range. The distributed sensing option can provide sub cm spatial resolution with sensors up to 2 kilometers. Key Features In extended range mode the maximum sensing range is 2 kilometers The OBR 4600 for sensing has a dual display with an intuitive user interface that allows the user to simultaneously view a plot of temperature and strain in the upper graph and a magnification of sections of that plot in the lower graph The user interface can store and display up to five traces (two traces in desk top analysis mode) The scanning wavelength range, sensing range, gage length and sensor spacing are all user adjustable and offer the user maximum flexibility to tailor OBR 4600 measurements to the application requirements The spot scan option is available with the sensing option, offering higher spatial resolution over a user selectable 80 meter section of the total sensing range

Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The Luna OBR 4600 is an optical backscatter reflectometer designed for high-resolution testing and troubleshooting of short-run optical networks up to 70 m in standard mode, with an extended range option for 2 km. It offers 10 μm sampling resolution in 30 m mode, 80 dB dynamic range, and backscatter-level sensitivity down to -130 dB. The device supports C and L band operation (1525-1610 nm), measures insertion loss, return loss, distributed loss, polarization states, phase derivative, and group delay, and includes a zero dead zone for inspecting closely spaced events. It features a case size of 14.4 x 13.6 x 6.5 in (366 x 345 x 165 mm) and weighs 25 lb. A distributed temperature and strain sensing option is available with ±1.0 cm spatial resolution and ±0.1 °C temperature resolution. The instrument includes a workstation-class laptop controller and complies with Class 1 laser safety standards.
