Luna Announces the Phoenix 1000 Tunable Laser Based on the Former Iolon ''Apollo'' Laser

Luna Innovations Incorporated (NASDAQ:LUNA) announces its highly anticipated tunable laser product, the Phoenix 1000, under its Luna Technologies brand of test and measurement products.

We acquired the intellectual property rights and manufacturing equipment in December 2006, to allow us to compete more effectively in Lunas existing fiber optic test and measurement markets by providing our customers with fast, flexible and cost-effective test and measurement products. We are also aggressively pursuing new markets such as industrial and medical sensing with our new laser, commented Kent Murphy, Luna Innovations Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Lunas MEMs-based, external cavity laser is based on the former Iolon Apollo class of tunable lasers and offers low noise and precise tuning capability over the C-band. The compact device is scalable, rugged and fast delivering superior performance for applications including measurement, fiber grating based sensing, spectroscopy and metrology. Product highlights of this miniaturized, 18-pin TEC-cooled package include fast tuning up to 500 Hz, mode-hop free swept operation over the C-band wavelength coverage from 1515 nm to 1565 nm, narrow linewidth less than 2 MHz and superior phase noise characteristics.

"Tunable lasers have become a key enabling element in a variety of fiber optic measurement and sensing applications, said Brian Soller, President of Luna Innovations Products Division. Our improvements to this well known platform make the Phoenix 1000 laser the ideal choice for end users and customers looking for ruggedness, scalability and performance in a compact tunable laser.

The Phoenix 1000 tunable laser product is available immediately, with four to six weeks typical for delivery.

Luna will be demonstrating its new laser, Optical Backscatter and Optical Vector Analyzer product platforms in booth #327 at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference & Exposition and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference (OFC/NFOEC) which begins, February 26 in San Diego, CA.
