Press Release:
Micron Optics Announces the Release of Its Next Generation Ultra-High Speed Optical Sensor Interrogator - The si920 Vibration Mode Analyzer

Atlanta - February 5, 2007 - Micron Optics, Inc. has already delivered the first si920 units to waiting customers. This new high sensitivity, high speed optical sensing interrogator is capable of monitoring and analyzing vibration modes on FBG sensors on up to four simultaneous channels with acquisition rates as fast as 500kHz on a single channel or 100kHz on four parallel channels. High speed optical sensor and vibration measurements provided by the si920 can be used in applications such as ballistics testing and blast analysis, acoustic emissions monitoring, and other high speed vibration mode analysis applications.

The si920 is built with a revolutionary, patent-pending architecture, using Micron Optics' very own Fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filters. The unmatched optical performance of Micron Optics' tunable filters and Micron Optics' proprietary system architecture are two reasons why the si920's combination of ultra-high speed and high sensitivity sensor vibration measurements are unparalleled in the industry.

Micron Optics instruments are deployed all over the world in applications such as: Civil Structures/Civionics (bridges, dams, tunnels, buildings, etc.); Energy (wind turbines, pipelines, nuclear reactors, etc.); Aerospace Vehicles (composite structures, wind tunnels, dynamic tests, etc.); Oil & Gas (well reservoir management, platform structural health monitoring, etc.); Marine Vessels (hull, mast, rudder, submarine pressure tests, etc.); Transportation (railways, roadways, etc.); Homeland Security (perimeter intrusion, shipping container integrity, etc.); Research (medical devices, military armor, chemical sensing, etc.).
