Manufacturing SKEW Measurement in Less Time

BLACKSBURG, Va.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—March 24, 2009— Luna Technologies, the test & measurement and sensing instrumentation division of Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ:LUNA), today announces fiber optic SKEW measurement capability as an enhancement for its award-winning Optical Backscatter Reflectometer™ (OBR) product. By combining Luna’s optical switch and custom software, Luna has created a solution to dramatically increase the throughput of SKEW measurements on single- or multimode ribbon cables.

“By combining our OBR device with our scalable optical switch and software, Luna has given the industry a total solution for high-throughput automated SKEW measurements,” said Dr. Brian Soller, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Luna Technologies. “This is just one example of our ability to provide a total solution for our customers. The flexibility of our products and software solutions enables our customers to reduce manufacturing costs and increase performance.”

SKEW is defined as the maximum difference in light propagation time across fibers in the ribbon cable. SKEW is becoming increasingly important in modern high-speed data networking as these applications require strict quality control and precise measurements of optical path length in order to function properly. Using Luna’s tools, SKEW measurement can be determined in less than one minute by a single mouse click. SKEW is graphically displayed to the user after making a single-ended time-of-flight measurement of each fiber in a cable strand and computing the path differential.

Luna Technologies will be demonstrating its new Software Development Kit, which provides the SKEW capability, and its OBR™ instrument in a Product Showcase scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT) in Hall B1 of the San Diego Convention Center at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition and The National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference ( OFC/NFOEC). The company is exhibiting and giving demonstrations of its reflectometer, spectrum analyzer and tunable laser products in booth #734.
