Multi-channel Small Footprint Directly Intergrated Optical Sensors for FBG Sensor Network Interrogation

Using a patent pending manufacturing process we offer high performance FBG network interrogators for applications in Civil engineering, Aerospace and Chemical sensing.

The sensor chips are compact, lighweight and have no moving parts making them highly robust and suited for harsh environment applications (e.g. high pressure/ temperature/ vibration).

Prototype chips operate at 1550nm (product 1) and in visible region (product 2) - a provisional data sheet is available.

Key Benefits

Lightweight, Small Footprint Monolithic design
Robust with no moving parts - harsh environments
Easily integrated to optical fibers/ FBG networks
Precise wavelength analysis with custom design options

Applications

Civil engineering - condition monitoring of bridges, dams etc.
Aerospace - real time monitoring of structural flexure
Chemistry/ Oil & Gas - robust chemical sensors for harsh environments
Biophotonics - cellular studies etc.

IP Status

Patent applications pending in Laser Processing & Optical Interconnection.

Significant know-how & expertise in Optoelectronic systems

***Prototypes will be available in April/May 2010 - provisional data sheets available on request ***
