The InsightTM swept laser is an interrogator accurate enough to see small-magnitude changes in strain, vibration or temperature; fast enough to see vibrations propagate down a structure; and inexpensive enough for large-quantity deployments. With akinetic swept laser technology, Insight Photonic Solutions brings the low cost and high performance of an all-semiconductor solution to fiber sensing. A swept laser allows multiple fibers to be interrogated simultaneously with minimal cost per additional fiber. The Insight™ laser is akinetic (without any form of movement in the tuning mechanism). It is fast and generates outstanding optical quality. |
