Fibre optic sensors

Sensor technology based on the light absorption/ transmission properties of gallium arsenide (GaAs).

A fibre optic sensor has an optical fibre connected to a light source to allow for detection in tight spaces or where a small profile is beneficial.

We partner with top manufacturers of fibre optic temperature sensors to bring configurable sensors of a high standard to our range.

These sensors operate between temperatures of -100 to 330C with built-in calibration for high accuracy (±0.05°C) measurements and are perfect for applications within the energy, research and medical industries.

Bringing high accuracy and a high-temperature range for different etching and wafer fab processes Low noise solution High reliability with low failure rates Immune to electromagnetic interference
