Luna Innovations Launches Upgraded Version of ODiSI Sensing Platform

Business Wire
Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ: LUNA) today launched the
latest distributed fiber optic sensing platform that is 20 times
faster and half the cost of its previous ODiSI (Optical Distributed
Sensor Interrogator) instrument.
The ODiSI B model provides greater insight into the performance,
tolerances and failure mechanisms of composite structures and
vehicles. With thousands of sensing locations on a single optical
fiber, the technology lets customers know what’s happening inside a
composite structure during manufacturing and testing.
“One of our key growth strategies is to become the leading
provider of sensing systems for testing composite materials,” said
My Chung, CEO of Luna Innovations. “Last year we introduced our
ODiSI platform to address this market. Based on customer feedback,
we’ve developed an upgraded product that offers much faster
measurement speed at half the price of our previous platform. Luna
is committed to evolving our solution to respond to the needs of
the composite market, particularly for new aircraft and wind
turbines.”
The ODiSI B introduction comes as total demand for composites is
growing; with global composite material shipments projected to
reach $29.9 billion by 2017.
First introduced in August 2011, the ODiSI product line supports
the exacting standards of the aerospace, automotive, energy and
other composites industries where high-density strain or
temperature measurements are required for structural or mechanical
testing.
Luna’s ODiSI platform provides a number of advantages over
traditional strain gages. It uses low-cost optical fiber to provide
unprecedented sensor density, with hundreds of measurement
locations per meter of fiber. The fiber is small, rugged and easy
to install, while the glass structure of the fiber makes it ideal
for fatigue testing under high strain as needed with composite
materials. While a normal strain gage has one sensing point per
channel and requires multiple connections per sensed location,
Luna’s sensing solution provides thousands of measurement points
per fiber with one connection for all of these sensors. Luna’s
ODiSI B provides these benefits with a per-sensor cost well below
that of traditional foil gages.
“Luna Innovations is improving the way composite materials are
tested and validated for peak performance and safety, and customers
are starting to embrace our technology,” Chung said.
