"Lightwave's Attendees' Choice Award is designed to recognize the products that OFC/NFOEC exhibit attendees believe show the most innovation and usefulness for their applications,” says Stephen Hardy, Editor of Lightwave Magazine. “The fact that Luna Technologies' Optical Backscatter Reflectometer won recognition in our Test Equipment category demonstrates both high market visibility as well as potential for significant acceptance within its application niche. "
Luna's OBR is a failure analysis tool offering unprecedented
diagnostic capabilities to the manufacturers of fiber-optic components
and assemblies. Using the instrument, designers and manufacturers can
peer into the heart of optical components, modules and assemblies to
measure minute reflections with 125 dB sensitivity, 60 dB dynamic range
and as low as 10 micron spatial resolution. This product extends from
30 meters up to 300 meters of optical length with zero dead-zone offering
sub-millimeter resolution —improvements that increase product
quality and reduce test time.
The Lightwave Attendees' Choice Awards are designed to recognize achievement in the eyes of those who matter most -- the people who buy and use optical components, subsystems, systems, test equipment, design tools, and manufacturing equipment. Only those attending the show were eligible to vote.
