Manufacturing SKEW Measurement in Less Time

Luna Introduces Software Development Tools Enhancing Performance and Process
Control of Optical Manufacturing
BLACKSBURG, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Luna Technologies, the test & measurement and sensing instrumentation division
of Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ:LUNA), today announces fiber optic SKEW
measurement capability as an enhancement for its award-winning Optical
Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR) product. By combining Luna`s optical switch and
custom software, Luna has created a solution to dramatically increase the
throughput of SKEW measurements on single- or multimode ribbon cables.

"By combining our OBR device with our scalable optical switch and software, Luna
has given the industry a total solution for high-throughput automated SKEW
measurements," said Dr. Brian Soller, Executive Vice President and General
Manager of Luna Technologies. "This is just one example of our ability to
provide a total solution for our customers. The flexibility of our products and
software solutions enables our customers to reduce manufacturing costs and
increase performance."

SKEW is defined as the maximum difference in light propagation time across
fibers in the ribbon cable. SKEW is becoming increasingly important in modern
high-speed data networking as these applications require strict quality control
and precise measurements of optical path length in order to function properly.
Using Luna`s tools, SKEW measurement can be determined in less than one minute
by a single mouse click. SKEW is graphically displayed to the user after making
a single-ended time-of-flight measurement of each fiber in a cable strand and
computing the path differential.

Luna Technologies will be demonstrating its new Software Development Kit, which
provides the SKEW capability, and its OBR instrument in a Product Showcase
scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, at 11:15 a.m. (PDT) in Hall B1 of the San Diego
Convention Center at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference and Exposition
and The National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC). The company is
exhibiting and giving demonstrations of its reflectometer, spectrum analyzer and
tunable laser products in booth #734. For more information, visit Luna
