The WaveCaptureTM FBG Interrogation Analyzer with Integrated Reference Source. BaySpec's WaveCaptureTM FBGA Interrogation Analyzer with Integrated Reference Source (FBGA-IRS) for enhanced wavelength accuracy.
Up to ~5kHz response time is achieved, with a 1pm wavelength readout resolution. The WaveCaptureTM monitors FBG sensors and is ideal for deployment in smart structures, oil/gas down hole drilling, buildings, bridges, mining safety, electrical grid, perimeter sensing, aerospace, wind turbines and other harsh environments.
The device can be made for O, S, C or L band wavelength ranges and provides simultaneous measurements at very fast response rates and excellent wavelength resolution. High reliability (Telcordia; MIL STD 810F shock and vibration) is achieved through a rugged mechanical design with no moving parts. Periodic calibration is not required. Input/Output (I/O) is provided through a dual port RAM interface accessed through ADD/DAT bus direct connection or serial (RS232 or USB) communications as the spectral dispersion element and an ultra sensitive InGaAs array detector as the detection element, thereby providing high-speed parallel processing and continuous spectrum measurements. As an input, the device uses a tapped signal from the main data transmission link through a single mode fiber, then collimating it with a micro lens. The signal is spectrally dispersed with the VPG®, and the diffracted field is focused onto an InGaAs array detector. The control electronics read out the processed digital signal to extract required information. Both the raw data and the processed data are available to the host.
