Where to Buy Fiber-optic Sensors

The newly developed optical sensor line newLight 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.

AtGrating Technologies offers armored FBG strain sensor cables with various kinds of FBG arrays (in a single spliceless fiber) embedded in protective interlayers made of PE, PU, nylon, hytrel, PEEK tube, glass fiber reinforced plastic or teflon. Different configurations are available concerning interrogation wavelengths, sensor spacing, optical connectors and cable materials.

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.
