We supply an extensive range of fiber optic sensors and these include:

• Robust Sensors for Chemical Process and Environmental Monitoring.

• General Sensors for Process Quality Assurance and Automation.

• Sensors for Laboratory Research and Auto analysis.

• Dedicated and Specialised Sensors.

[Both items: Manufactured by Knight Photonics Ltd ]

These sensors are designed to operate and be controlled by a general computer such as a PC, industrial computer, laptop, palmtop, or a dedicated stand alone "Central Optical Processor" The Sensors are linked generally via a small optical interface. Sensors can be used in single or multichannel applications. They are broadly grouped to include:

EXTRINSIC TYPES: [Light leaves the probe and returns from the sample back into the probe]. These are used for spectroscopic evaluations, such as, absorption, fluorescence, Raman, scatter, turbidity, colour etc,

INTRINSIC TYPES: [Light is returned internally from within the fiber optic probe by a coating, immobilised reagent, sol-gel; which in turn are reacting to an external chemical or physical parameter]. Examples of these sensors include those for; oxygen, pH, temperature measurement.

RADIOMETRIC TYPES: suitable for measurement of light level, Ultra-violet hazard, bioluminescence etc. Many of these sensors are calibrated to International Standards.

LOGIC, IMAGE and STEREO SENSORS: These are often used in physical identification of products and control of quality. As an example this type of sensor can be used with spectroscopic sensors for measurement at a specific location within the captured image. LOGIC and STEREO Sensors are useful in ROBOTICS.

APPLICATIONS

FIBER OPTIC SENSORS are very effective for REMOTE, DIFFICULT, INACCESSIBLE LOCATIONS and OUTSIZE SAMPLES. Examples include:

In alliance with

Radioactive areas.
Biotechnology fermentors.
High voltage areas.
Explosive and dangerous areas.
Biological hazard stations.
In marine, river and reservoir locations.
Pipelines, vessels, tanks and bottles.
Safety monitoring areas.
Large samples.
Low or high temperature areas.
In vacuum.
