Product catalog summary
Overview
The sm225 Optical Sensing Interrogator is an industrial-grade, rack-mounted module designed for static optical sensor interrogation. It supports up to 16 internal fiber measurement channels and is based on the Micron Optics x25 optical interrogator core, featuring a high-power, low-noise swept wavelength laser.
Specifications
The sm225 offers high accuracy absolute measurements for various parameters such as strain, temperature, and pressure. It includes up to 16 integrated measurement channels and supports a wide wavelength range, making it suitable for numerous optical sensor types. The module is compatible with standard 19” EIA/IEC equipment racks.
Applications
The sm225 is used in full spectrum measurements of fiber Bragg grating (FBG), extrinsic Fabry-Perot, and other optical sensor components. It is applicable in continuous long-term health monitoring of structures like bridges, dams, and buildings, as well as in the development of fiber optic sensors and transducers.
Features
The module provides on-board NIST traceable wavelength reference and supports dozens of sensors per channel. It is equipped with Ethernet interfaces and custom protocols for data output, and it is compatible with Micron Optics ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software for data acquisition and analysis.
Technical Details
The sm225 is available in different models with varying optical properties, such as the number of optical channels, scan frequency, and wavelength range. It operates within a temperature range of 0° to 50°C and supports input voltages from 7 to 36 VDC. The module includes options for enhanced data management and remote software customization through LabVIEW™ source code.
Data Processing Capabilities
The sm225 supports spectral analysis, peak detection, data logging, and instrument control. It offers enhanced data management through the ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software, which provides tools for optimizing optical properties during the design and operation phases.

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 optional internal sensor proces- sor module. The Sensing Module platform is ideal for custom, client developed system management tools, but is equally compatible with local or remote installations of Micron Optics ENLIGHT sm225 Rack Mount Module 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 useful features of traditional sensor software with the specific tools needed to optimize opti- cal properties during the design, implementation, and operations phases of an optica sensor system. Tables, graphs, and additional data visualization features make ENLIGHT easy to use.
