Roanoke, VA -- Luna Technologies, an industry-leading developer of advanced solutions for fiber optic test and measurement systems and a division of Luna Innovations Incorporated, today announced its newest product in the Optical Vector Analyzer platform, the OVA 5000. This instrument is the fastest, most accurate and economical tool for loss, dispersion and polarization measurements of modern optical networking equipment, all packaged with a user-friendly interface and a small footprint. It is the ideal device for single-measurement, all-parameter analysis of fiber optic components and assemblies up to 150 meters in length. With the new OVA 5000, a full C and L band characterization of all linear optical parameters can be completed in less than three seconds.

Luna's patented characterization technique uses swept-wavelength interferometry to accurately measure all device characteristics in a single scan of a tunable laser. The OVA is the only instrument measuring the complete linear transfer function of a device under test. With this measurement, the OVA characterizes all linear optical parameters including: Insertion Loss (IL), Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), Group Delay (GD), Chromatic Dispersion (CD), Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD), and Second Order PMD. It also measures the Optical Time Domain Response, the complex Jones Matrix Elements and the Optical Phase Response.

"We offer a unique and unprecedented way of characterizing optical components that provides our customers with valuable benefits," said Luna's Chief Technology Officer Dr. Mark Froggatt. "Speed is incredibly important, which is where Luna has an edge. The OVA 5000 offers complete, rapid, single-scan measurement of all parameters in real-time which allows our DWDM component manufacturers to save time and money."

Luna's OVA 5000 is available within six to eight weeks from order placement. For more information email the Luna sales team at solutions@lunatechnologies.com, or see the Web site at www.lunatechnologies.com for the list of domestic and international contacts. Luna will be demonstrating its optical test and measurement solutions at the European Conference and Exhibition on Optical Communications (ECOC) in booth #309, beginning September 20 in Vienna, Austria.
