3System Overview
The Luna 6415 provides users with the ability to make high resolution insertion loss and
return loss measurements of optical devices in both reflection and transmission. These
measurements can be viewed in both the delay and spectral domains for improved visibility
in characterizing and screening optical components and networks.
Luna 6415 Hardware Configuration
The flexibility of the reflection or transmission measurement modes allows you to design and
execute tests that perfectly fit your needs. First, it can be set up to measure an optical
device in reflection, meaning the measurement data will consist of all of the light that was
reflected from the device under test and back to the instrument. Secondly, it can be set up to
measure in transmission, meaning that the measurement data will consist of all of the light
that passes through the device under test and then back into the instrument.
4What you get with the Luna 6415
The Luna 6415 is shipped with everything needed to conduct strain and temperature
measurements,including the measurementinstrument and all supporting hardware,
software, documentation,and cables. Read and follow all assembly and startup instructions

Front Panel
The front panel of the Luna 6415 contains the two optical connectors, as well as three LED
system status indicators.
•Power Lit while the system is powered on
•Source Lit while front panel optical connectors are energized
•Measure Lit while the system is making measurements
Eight optical connectors are located on the front panel of the system. In order to keep the
optical connections clean, it is important to keep dust covers attached while connections are
not in use. Refer to the maintenance information section of this guide for instructions.
