The I-MON High Speed Interrogation Monitors are cutting-edge spectrometers tailored for the rigorous demands of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor systems. These devices are optimized for high-speed, high-resolution spectrum monitoring, specifically within the 1550 nm wavelength range. With line scan rates reaching up to 35 kHz, the I-MON 256/512 models deliver unparalleled performance, making them an ideal choice for applications requiring precise and rapid data collection.

One of the standout features of the I-MON Interrogation Monitors is their ability to provide high-resolution measurements across a broad wavelength range. This capability ensures accurate interrogation of a large number of FBG sensors, which is crucial for complex monitoring tasks. The integration of a GigE interface, coupled with sophisticated data acquisition software, facilitates seamless setup with a laptop, transforming the I-MON into a versatile stand-alone monitor when paired with a user-selected light source. Additionally, the external synchronization input feature allows for precise timing, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the measurements.

At the heart of the I-MON technology is Ibsen's patented high-resolution spectrometer technology, which employs fused silica transmission gratings. This innovative design enables the spatial splitting of the wavelength spectrum, allowing for the parallel processing of individual FBG sensor peaks. These peaks are captured by a diode array, and the embedded electronics provide an Ethernet interface for smooth data transmission. With the included LabVIEW-based software, users can enjoy plug-and-play operation, simplifying the integration process and ensuring that the I-MON High Speed Interrogation Monitors meet the diverse needs of their applications.
