Problem
Many industries require precise and reliable monitoring of physical parameters like temperature, strain, and force in harsh environments, but traditional electronic sensors are susceptible to electromagnetic interference, corrosion, and high temperatures. This limits their effectiveness and lifespan in critical applications.
Solution
FiSens provides fiber optic sensor systems that utilize Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) technology to enable accurate and robust monitoring of physical parameters in challenging conditions. Their proprietary femtosecond laser technology creates FBG sensors within standard telecom fibers, offering immunity to electromagnetic interference, high temperature tolerance, and the ability to multiplex multiple sensors on a single fiber. These sensors and fiber-integrated spectrometers provide real-time data for proactive maintenance, condition monitoring, and early detection of potential problems across various industries.
