Buying Fiber-optic Sensors

Top-level product categories: detectors and measurements, fiber optics

More general product categories: optical sensors

More specific product categories: optical humidity sensors

Related product categories: fiber-optic probes, optical sensing instruments

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.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

With its comprehensive resources, RP Photonics helps you to well prepare purchase decisions:

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying fiber-optic sensors. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for fiber-optic sensors. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

fiber-optic sensors

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
Profile page  Website  

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.

Fiber technology to sense the world.
