Buying Fiber-optic Sensors
Fiber-optic sensors (optical fiber sensors) are fiber-based instruments for sensing various quantities such as temperature, mechanical strain, displacements, vibrations, pressure, acceleration, rotations, and concentrations of chemical species. They are used in a wide range of applications including industrial monitoring, environmental sensing, and medical diagnostics.
Making Good Purchase Decisions
RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.
NEW: Structured Decision Process
We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.
(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

![]() Diamond the fiber meeting Diamond SAVia dei Patrizi 5 6616 Losone Switzerland | ![]() Diamond SA provides integrated solutions for distributed and punctual fiber optic sensors. Its ultra-low loss connectors enhance the sensitivity of the sensors and are suitable for the most severe operating environments. Diamond Active Core Alignment (ACA) technology maximizes the signal to noise ratio of the detected parameters, reducing drastically the interconnects power losses. High stability and reliability are key features, mostly in harsh environments, where atmospheric agents or vibrations can affect the precision of the measurement. In space-avionics sensors applications, Diamond's “Mini AVIM®” is the only connector certified space-grade worldwide. Diamond optical sensors assemblies with Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), special fibers, mirror terminations or miniaturized components, cover a wide range of applications and are customized on your needs. |
![]() Bringing light to measurement HBK FiberSensing, S.A.Via José Régio, 256 4485–860 Vilar do Pinheiro Portugal |
HBK FiberSensing newLight sensor technology enables large strain measurement ranges at increased long-term stability. It is the ideal choice for structural health monitoring due to its fast and easy installation and its resistance to environmental conditions such as humidity, rust, and salt even over extremely long distances. The compatibility with standard telecom cables makes this line very cost efficient – especially for medium-to-high channel applications. The newLight range is based on the Fiber Bragg Grating technology and offers optical sensors for measurements of strain, temperature, accelerometer, and tilt. In addition to fiber optical sensors that measure strain, temperature, acceleration, tilt or displacement, HBK also offers optical interrogators, software, as well as service and support for every application. |
