Our Approach Is Built on Precision, Stability & Absolute Process Control.
Specialty Optical Fibers for Industrial Sensing Applications
Industrial sensing systems demand absolute reliability. Temperature drift, mechanical fatigue, chemical exposure, and vibration can compromise conventional optical fibers and introduce measurement errors. Our specialty optical fibers are engineered to deliver stable, repeatable performance in the most demanding industrial environments.
We manufacture metal-coated, spun, multi-core, and fully customized fibers designed for fiber-optic sensing technologies including distributed temperature sensing (DTS), distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), strain monitoring, pressure measurement, and vibration detection.
Our fibers are used in structural health monitoring, energy infrastructure, industrial automation, smart manufacturing, and safety-critical monitoring systems where continuous data accuracy is essential.
Every fiber is produced with strict dimensional control, stable optical properties, and full production traceability to ensure predictable performance across long-term deployments.
Industrial Sensing Manufacturing – Stability Without Signal Drift
Industrial sensing fibers must operate under constant thermal cycling, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and vibration while maintaining optical integrity. Our manufacturing process combines advanced drawing control, precision coating technology, and inline inspection to guarantee:
- Stable signal transmission under thermal and mechanical stress
- High resistance to abrasion and environmental degradation
- Minimal signal noise and attenuation drift
- Long-term reliability in permanent installations
- Consistent fiber geometry for accurate sensor calibration
Our fibers enable industrial sensing systems to deliver reliable, actionable data for years without recalibration or signal degradation.
