si255 - Optical Sensing Instrument
Description
The si255 is an industrial grade fan-less optical sensing interrogator. Featuring both static and dynamic full spectrum analysis, the si155 provides long-term, reliable and accurate measurements of hundreds of sensors on 4, 8 or 16 parallel, 160 nm wide channels.
The si255 features a high power, low-noise, ultra-wide swept wavelength laser with guaranteed absolute accuracy on every scan which is realized with Luna's patented Fiber Fabry-Perot filter and wavelength reference technology. The HYPERION platform, on which the si255 is based, features groundbreaking capabilities including high-performance DSP and real-time FPGA processing on-board.
This enables rapid, full-spectrum data acquisition and flexible peak detect algorithms of Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), Long Period gratings, Fabry-Perot (FP) and Mach-Zehnder (MZ) sensors with low latency access to data for closed-loop feedback applications.
The HYPERION platform is now compatible with ENLIGHT, Sensing Analysis Software, which provides a single suite of tools for data acquisition, computation, and analysis of optical sensor networks, see http://www.micronoptics.com/products/sensingsolutions/software/ for more information. The HYPERION platform also includes a comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) and examples written in LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, C++ and C#.

Frequently Asked Questions
The HYPERION platform is compatible with ENLIGHT, Sensing Analysis Software, which provides a single suite of tools for data acquisition, computation, and analysis of optical sensor networks.
The si255 is an industrial grade fan-less optical sensing interrogator used for long-term, reliable and accurate measurements of nearly 1000 sensors on 16 parallel, 160 nm wide channels.
The HYPERION platform is the platform on which the si255 is based. It features groundbreaking capabilities including high-performance DSP and real-time FPGA processing on-board.
The HYPERION platform includes a comprehensive Application Programming Interface (API) and examples written in LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, C++ and C#.
The si255 can measure Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), Long Period gratings, Fabry-Perot (FP) and Mach-Zehnder (MZ) sensors.
The HYPERION platform is best-in-class when it comes to accuracy, repeatability, and precision. The NIST traceable optical absorption cell and athermal interferometric reference enable absolute accuracy of < 1pm. Additionally, the HYPERION platform has the widest wavelength of any optical sensing instrument on the market. With 160nm of bandwidth, the HYPERION enables the highest number of sensors per channel which simplifies installations and reduces total system cost.
