Product catalog summary
Description
The sm125 Optical Sensing Interrogator is a compact, industrial-grade module designed for long-term field operation. It is based on the Micron Optics x25 core, featuring a high-power, low-noise swept wavelength laser using patented Fiber Fabry-Perot Tunable Filter technology. This core supports full spectral scanning and data acquisition, offering high accuracy and dynamic range. It is compatible with various optical sensors, including FBGs and Fabry-Perot sensors. The module outputs data via Ethernet and is compatible with Micron Optics ENLIGHT software for data analysis and visualization.
Applications
The sm125 is used for full spectrum measurements of optical sensor components and continuous health monitoring of structures like bridges, dams, and buildings. It is also applicable in the development of fiber optic sensors and transducers.
Features
The device provides high accuracy measurements of strain, temperature, and pressure. It includes an on-board NIST traceable wavelength reference and supports multiple sensors per channel.
Deployments
The sm125 is suitable for civil structures, energy sectors, oil & gas, aerospace, marine vessels, transportation, homeland security, and medical devices.

The x25 interroga- tor core employs full spectral scanning and data acquisition, providing measurements with high absolute accuracy, flexible software post-processing, and high dynamic range performance. x25 based interrogators support continuous on-board NIST traceable wavelength reference components and are ideally suited to measure many different optical sensor types, including FBGs, long period gratings, extrinsic Fabry-Perot sensors, and many others. Well over half of the fiber optic sensors deployed today are mea- sured with instrumentation that uses Micron Optics technology. The Micron Optics "sm - Sensing Module" platform responds directly to the user com- mands of the optical interrogator core and outputs sensor wavelength data via Ethernet port and custom protocol. All module settings, sensor calculations, data visualization, storage, and alarming tasks are run on an external PC or sensor processor module The Sensing Module platform is ideal for custom, client developed system manage- ment tools, but is equally compatible with local or remote installations of Micron Optics Micron Optics ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software is included with Micron Optics sensing interrogator systems and provides a single suite of tools for data acquisition, computation, and analysis of optical sensor networks. ENLIGHT combines the usefu features of traditional sensor software with the specific tools needed to optimize opti- cal properties during the design, implementation, and operations phases of an optical sensor system. Tables, graphs, and additional data visualization features make ENLIGHT easy to use.
