Fibre optic sensors
Fibre optics have unquestionably been one of the driving forces behind the optical telecommunications revolution. Optical and opto-electronic solutions can be applied to endless situations within companies and in all areas of business activity.
The continuous control of physical, chemical and biological parameters is key to improving control procedures in general. Sensors represent an all-important link to the interface between the physical world and electronic processing systems. The properties of fibre optics are also used in the field of sensors (temperature, pressure, etc.).
Fibre optic sensors represent new technologies that provide an answer to these multiple requirements both in general, and specifically to each application.
Whether for physical, chemical or biological sensors, our experience and expertise in this field means we can develop tailor-made solutions to meet your needs. |

Advantages of fibre optic sensors
 Total immunity to electromagnetic fields
Higher sensitivity, bandwidth and dynamic range than most standard sensors
Can be used in complete safety in environments that are chemically unstable or where there is a risk of explosion
Lightweight
Compact and unobtrusive; can be used at the core of systems or materials
Excellent operation in severe environments, resistant to high temperatures, vibrations, shocks and chemical attacks
Low losses allowing for remote measurements with no interference
Localised, distributed or continuously distributed measurements
Possibility of multiplexing different information along the same fibre.
