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, HBM also offers optical interrogators, software, as well as service and support for every application.

With the LIOS Sensing product line, NKT Photonics is the market leader in distributed optical sensing of temperature and strain for security, safety and fire detection. Backed by more than 20 years of experience and thousands of systems in the field worldwide, we deliver LIOS monitoring solutions with unrivaled quality and performance. Our LIOS distributed temperature and strain sensing solutions give you a quick and easy overview of the status of your installation. We use passive optical fibers as distributed sensors, they are immune to vibration, electromagnetic noise, dust, cryogenic temperatures, and moisture. You get continuous and accurate monitoring of temperature and strain over long distances or across large surfaces – at the speed of light! It is highly reliable too, offering you a Mean Time Between Failure of above 45 years.
