Featured FBG Optical Sensor Vendors

Choose from a wide variety of FBG optical sensors, ranging from standard off-the-shelf strain gages to custom downhole oil and gas pressure transducers. You can daisy chain sensors including strain and temperature in any order by using optical connectors or splicing bare fibers with a fusion splicer. You can obtain sensors individually or in a preassembled array to meet your exact requirements.

The method for installing and using FBG optical sensors is very similar to the established methods used for electrical sensors. You can glue, weld, and embed FBG sensors while having fewer cables to manage with no noise, isolation, and/or shielding considerations to address. A variety of cabling exists, from simple low-cost to rugged deep sea cables, meeting the most extreme and rigid requirements.

FBGS International (Belgium)

FBGS is a leading developer and manufacturer of high strength FBG sensors using draw tower technology, where the grating array is written during the drawing process before the fiber is coated. This automated process results in high quality low cost Fibre Bragg Gratings with unique characteristics such as extremely high breaking strength, insensitivity to bending, spliceless array configurations and uniform coating coverage. These are suitable for both standard and bespoke sensing solutions including applications within aerospace, oil & gas, renewable energy, process, composite & medical industries.
