New Aluminum and Copper Coated Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Sensors for Industrial Optical Sensing Applications

Depending on the type of inscription and coating used, these FBG sensors are suitable for operation from the cryogenic temperature of -200C to the high temperatures ratings of +100C, +300C, +450C, +550C, +700C, +850C, and +1000 Degrees Celsius.

ATLANTA (PRWEB)
September 04, 2020

Many measurement applications in harsh environments would benefit greatly by using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology, given its numerous well-known advantages such as absolute temperature measurement, rapid response, multiple sensing points on a single fiber strand with minimal mechanical burden and intrusion, as well as the critical properties of EMI immunity, spark free, and chemical inertness. However, the presence of high humidity, or high temperatures, corrosive chemicals or high mechanical stress often encountered in real life environments impose serious challenges on the glass fiber coating. Technica now offers Fiber Bragg Gratings inscribed into optical fibers coated with Aluminum, Copper and Gold for addressing an ever growing field of new applications.

“All laser writing techniques require stripping and recoating when metal is involved. To meet the demand of these applications, Technica has developed reliable processes to end-strip or window-strip acrylate, polyimide, aluminum, copper, and gold coated fibers, embed standard and high-temperature FBGs, and then recoat them with acrylate, polyimide, or gold coatings. Our proprietary fabrication processes allow for varying lengths of window stripping and recoating with very controllable and repeatable material thickness and length control”, stated Tommy Jin, Chief Operations Officer of Technica Optical Components, LLC.

“Depending on the type of inscription and coating used, these FBG sensors are suitable for operation from the cryogenic temperature of -200C to the high temperatures ratings of +100C, +300C, +450C, +550C, +700C, +850C, and +1000 Degrees Celsius” added Andrei Csipkes, Chief Executive Officer of Technica Optical Components, LLC.

These metal coated FBG sensors fabricated by excimer and/or femtosecond laser writing techniques, as required by each application, have demonstrated unique advantages in providing multipoint and multifunction measurement capabilities in an ever increasing range of applications not previously addressable by FBGs fabricated using standard manufacturing techniques. However, properly designed fiber sensor packaging is also critical for maintaining the FBG sensor’s integrity, survivability, functionality, and durability. The ability to manufacture these FBGs in strain-locked Aluminum, Copper, and Gold coatings and the availability of loose tube Inconel 625 and Stainless Steel FBG packaging probes allows Technica to offer unique and practical solutions for fiber-optic sensing in both typical (T25) and high-temperature environments (T98 ad T160).

Technica is a leading developer, manufacturer, and provider of premium quality Fiber Bragg Grating sensors and FBG array sensors in acrylate, polyimide, aluminum, copper, gold, GFRP, and PEEK coatings, and sensor packaging in Teflon, stainless steel, and Inconel probes. The company also proudly licenses and produces individual OEM custom packaged filters and sensors. Technica is headquartered in Atlanta, USA, with Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Centers in USA, Sweden, Singapore, and China.

Kongsberg Geospatial integrates the World’s Highest Resolution Globally Available 3D Terrain Data with UAS Ground Control Station

A screenshot demonstrates how IRIS UxS can leverage high-resolution data from Vricon, a Maxar Company to give drone operators a high fidelity view of the mission area, to help safely plan flight routes.

A screenshot demonstrates how IRIS UxS can leverage high-resolution data to give drone operators a high fidelity view of the mission area, to help safely plan flight routes.

Using high-resolution data from Vricon and real-time LoS calculations, you can discover problem areas along your mission route ahead of time and adjust your flight plan to prevent problems before they happen.

OTTOWA, Ontario (PRWEB)
September 04, 2020

Kongsberg Geospatial, developer of the TerraLens Geospatial SDK, and Vricon, a Maxar Company and geospatial intelligence data provider based in McLean, VA, announce that they will be demonstrating the world’s highest globally available 3D terrain resolution in a UAS ground control station in an upcoming online seminar hosted by the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI).

The webinar will address the issue of flight safety while operating drones in convoluted environments and urban airspaces by using a combination of high-resolution terrain data that accurately plots the altitude and position of obstacles like buildings and towers, and real-time LoS (line of sight) calculations. The two technologies can be useful tools for collision avoidance in situations where it is necessary to operate unmanned aircraft in near proximity to buildings, powerlines, radio towers, and other infrastructure.

The webinar will also demonstrate how real-time Line-of-Sight (LoS) calculations can be used to predict problem areas for signal propagation and to help ensure effective sensor coverage.

Operation of drones in urban environments lack the accurate presentation of a digital surface model (DSM) to enable the situational awareness to avoid buildings. “In addition to building avoidance, it can be dangerous to lose the data connection with a UAV in the middle of a mission” explains Paige Cutland, Vice President at Kongsberg Geospatial, and one of the presenters. “However, using high-resolution data from Vricon and real-time LoS calculations, you can discover problem areas along your mission route ahead of time and adjust your flight plan to prevent problems before they happen.”

The geospatial data for this demonstration and seminar is being provided by Vricon, a Maxar company. Jonas Dehlin from Vricon will describe how to obtain and set up the best available geospatial data for a given mission area and demonstrate the level of detail that can be obtained through the use of high-resolution 3D surface models.

The presentation will feature 3D maps populated with 3D surface model data, which provide an extremely high level of fidelity, and high-resolution 3D globe terrain data that is useful for Line of Sight calculations.

The online seminar will be hosted on September 17th, at 3:00pm EDT by AUVSI, and a link for registration is available on the AUVSI events website.
