Micron Optics Announces New sm125 Optical Sensing Interrogator

The sm125 is a compact and versatile module designed for high-volume field applications where extremely accurate sensor measurements are needed in harsh environments.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 23, 2004 -- Micron Optics announces the release of its new line of sm125 Optical Sensor Interrogators. These compact and versatile modules are designed for high-volume field applications where extremely accurate sensor measurements are needed in harsh environments. The sm125 line of optical sensor interrogators represents a significant advance on several important fronts including 10x improved wavelength accuracy, 4x more channels, 8x smaller size, 4x lower power consumption, 5x lower price and 2x more robust operating environment.

Fiber-optic sensors have distinct advantages over electronic sensors where electromagnetic noise or corrosive substances are present. They also can make measurements 50km or more away from the sm125 instrument. These characteristics will offer new solutions for unmet measurement needs in deep oil wells, offshore oil platforms and oil and gas pipelines as well as long term structural health monitoring of bridges, dams and tunnels.
