ABOUT US



RC Integrated Systems LLC (RISL) provides innovative and unique solutions to address critical and challenging problems encountered by DoD, NASA, DOE, Homeland Security, and commercial customers. Our main products and technologies include unique sensors, sensing systems, and turn-key instruments for automatic control, in-situ physical/environmental multi-parameter monitoring, distributed/networked sensing, remote sensing, nondestructive testing, chemical/biological sensing, and structural health monitoring etc. Through rigorous research and development, RISL has recently developed a new sensing technology capable of withstanding temperatures > 1200C. This break-through technology enables us to develop a series of sensors for the measurement of temperature, strain, pressure, and vibration in harsh environment. Our team members are all U.S. citizens and have a broad spectrum of expertise as well as decades of combined experiences in lasers, optics, modeling and simulations, electronics, mechanical packaging, and technology and product transition. In the past five years, RISL has successfully completed twelve research and development (R&D) projects awarded by NASA, Army, Air Force, Navy, and MDA, resulting in multiple fiber optic sensing and range/proximity sensing products which potentially have very broad applications in both the government and commercial sectors.



NEW PRODUCTS



FOMS



This turn-key system is able to readout up to 128 channels of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors (up to 80 FBGs in each channel and total of up to 10,240 FBGs) and > 64 channels of multimode fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) based sensors with high resolution and high accuracy. The FBG interrogation module has a wavelength reading range of 1510–1590 nm, wavelength readout resolution of 1 pm, and acquisition rate of up to 5 kHz (for each channel). The FPI interrogation module is able to readout FP cavity length change of > 4 µm with about 1 nm resolution.



MOPS



This optical sensor is able to achieve noncontact measurement of a target range, vibration, and velocity with high accuracy. The sensor head is about 12 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length. Standard operating distance is up to 5 m and can be extended through custom design and fabrication. The maximum target speed can be measured is > 100 m/s.



FOMS-P



This fiber optic pressure sensor has achieved pressure measurement range up to 1000 psi (higher range is also available for custom development). Less than 1 psi resolution can be achieved with FOMS readout system. Various temperature operating range is achievable.



DFOS



This turn-key system incorporates a broadband light source and a modular FBG interrogator for FBG readout, achieving a wavelength reading range of 1510–1590 nm, wavelength readout resolution of 1 pm, and acquisition rate of up to 5 kHz. The system has a USB communication port. LabVIEW-based GUI is supplied for signal display and data acquisition.



PROJECTS



This DoD-funded project was to develop bonded/embedded fiber optic sensors to detect structural temperature, strain, and vibrations for structural health monitoring (SHM) applications.



This NASA-funded project was to develop a fiber optic system capable of measuring temperature, strain, and pressure in temperatures > 1000 deg C for high environment applications.



This DoD-funded project was to develop a noncontact fiber optic system for the measurement of shaft speed and vibrations.



This project was to develop a Fiber Optic Concentric Stepped Ferrule that can self-align the core of an optical fiber with the center of a lens of different outer diameter, enabling easy cleaning and maintenance of the fiber optic system.



The fiber optic sensors developed by RISL can meet various customers' needs for the measurement of temperature, strain, and pressure.
