About
Globally, Luna Innovations Incorporated specializes in the conception, production, and distribution of advanced fiber optic solutions designed for various testing, measurement, and control applications. Their extensive product portfolio encompasses cutting-edge optical test and measurement tools, such as optical vector analyzers, optical backscatter reflectometers, and the sophisticated Phoenix range of tunable lasers. The Hyperion sensing solution provides comprehensive full-spectrum data acquisition and adaptive peak detection algorithms, specifically designed for fiber-Bragg gratings (FBGs), long-period FBGs, and Fabry-Perot sensors. This system delivers low-latency data, crucial for real-time, closed-loop feedback in various applications. Luna also supplies a suite of polarization control products—comprising components, modules, and instruments—engineered to accurately gauge, regulate, and steer polarization and group delay within fiber optic networks. Their offerings further extend to high-performance tunable and single-frequency lasers, alongside specialized products for temperature and strain sensing. This includes the ODiSI sensing solution, renowned for its capabilities in distributed strain and temperature measurement. Rounding out their technological array are Terametrix terahertz gauging and imaging products, which deliver highly accurate measurements for single and multi-layer thickness, density, basis weight, and caliper. Additionally, they hold intellectual property and provide products related to distributed acoustic sensing. These advanced fiber optic solutions are primarily distributed to a diverse clientele, encompassing telecommunications providers, defense organizations, government system integrators, academic researchers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, and testing laboratories. Luna Innovations engages with these clients directly, and also leverages a robust network of manufacturer representatives, channel partners, technical sales engineers, value-added resellers, and independent sales agents. Established in 1990, Luna Innovations Incorporated maintains its corporate headquarters in Roanoke, Virginia.
