fiber cables
suppliers for fiber cables encyclopedia article
fiber cables from Technica Optical Components

The process begins with a fiber Bragg grating or FBG array made by Technica. We then package the fiber(s) into specialized cables such as Armor (T110), GFRP (T130), Steel (T140), PEEK/TEFLON (T150), Gold (T160). We also package multiple FBG arrays within the same cable in length ranges far beyond standard available technologies.

fiber-optic sensors

The T620 is a high-accuracy and sensitivity single-mode fiber (SM) based Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) based packaged pore water pressure sensor for operation to 150 psi.

Available in a wide range of optical specifications. Packaged with two internal FBGs to eliminate influences from the ambient environment, the novel transducer mechanism yields a high sensitivity and absolute accuracy optical sensor. Ready for direct use in many applications. Calibration service available upon request. The T620 sensor handling and installation is fast, easy and intuitive. Delivers the advantages inherent to FBG sensors.

The TFP10 is an all-fiber micro Fabry–Pérot (uFP) sensor for use in applications to 700 °C. Using laser micro- machining technology, the Fabry–Pérot sensing element is hermetically embedded in the core of the host single-mode optical fiber. The advanced design yields an all-fiber, ultra- compact, very-sensitive, and high-accuracy sensor ideally suited for precise strain or pressure measurements to 700 °C.

The TFP10 sensors have been applied to a large number of tests and measurements in the field and are reported to be uniquely positioned among the best fiberoptic high temperature sensors available today.
