High Speed FBGA Analyzer
WaveCapture® FBGA Series
BaySpec’s WaveCapture® FBGA Interrogation Analyzer is an integrated spectral engine simultaneously covering multiple wavelengths for precise and Rapid Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor system measurements.
The device covers wide wavelength ranges and provides simultaneous measurements at very fast response rates and excellent wavelength resolution. High reliability (MIL STD 810F shock and vibration) is achieved through a rugged mechanical design with no moving parts. Periodic calibration is not required. High speed Input/output (I/O) is achieved through the use of USB2.0 communications (serial communications also supported at lower speeds).
The WaveCapture® FBGA Series employs a highly efficient Volume Phase Grating (VPGâ) as the spectral dispersion element and an ultra-sensitive InGaAs array detector as the detection element, thereby providing high-speed parallel processing and continuous spectrum measurements. As an input, the device uses a tapped signal from the main data transmission link through a single mode fiber, then collimating it with a micro lens. The signal is spectrally dispersed with the VPGâ, and the diffracted field is focused onto an InGaAs array detector. The control electronics read out the processed digital signal to extract required information. Both the raw data and the processed data are available to the host.
