Detailed Product Description

The SE 600 is a handheld interrogation system for Fibre Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors.

This device provides powerful, reliable, easily integrated measurement options, for Fibre Bragg Grating and other optical sensor developers and system integrators. The speed, narrow linewidth and superb repeatability of the integrated Optical Spectrum Analyser (OSA) provide the accuracy and resolution needed for a wide range of optical sensing applications.

With its rugged design, configuration flexibility, small size, standard integrated battery and low cost, the SE interrogator is designed to meet the diverse needs and challenging requirements of the fibre optic sensing community.

Operational flexibility is another important advantage of the SE family. Application software can be customized to display temperature, strain or any other physical parameter. The system can even be operated in a passive optical spectrum analyzer mode, displaying power versus absolute wavelength and can be directly controlled using a laptop or other PC for on-line monitoring. An optional integrated HP iPAQ Pocket PC provides extended communications, control, storage and display flexibility.
