What are your responsibilities as an Application Engineer? I work with an acoustic emission system […]
Leave costly inspections in the past. OptiFender monitors partial discharge in real time
OptiFender– is a revolutionary fiber optic sensing system that monitors high voltage assets in real-time and detects and localizes partial discharge. Thanks to advantages of the underlying fiber optic technology, high voltage fields (HV) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) do not affect performance of OptiFender, and as a result, system measurements are precise, repeatable, and reliable! […]

Fiber-Optic and Piezoelectric Acoustic Emission Sensors: Performance Comparison
Acoustic emission testing is one of the non-destructive techniques Optics11 AE system OptimAE can be used for. Learn more how OptimAE performed in laboratory tests against piezoelectrical acoustic sensors and what advantages it brings. Download paper “Optics11-CETIM – Performance Comparison between FO and PZT AE sensors” Paper by Optics11 experts Mario Sorgente, Aydin R. Zadeh […]
Acoustic testing vs Acoustic Emission testing: what is what?
Acoustic emission testing is one of the non-destructive techniques Optics11 AE system OptimAE can be used for. The acoustic emission principles however often get confused with the acoustic testing ones. What are the differences between the two and why are they not the same thing? Acoustic testing is the measurement of sound, noise and vibration. […]
OptiFender successful tests with Delft University of Technology
OptiFender – partial discharge monitoring system, proved effectiveness in PD detection in high-voltage Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Fiber optics is a powerful principle that drives our sensing systems allowing us to provide solutions for previously unresolved challenges. Partial discharge being a common problem in high-voltage environments, it is crucially important to monitor the asset to […]
Day Of Photonics
Our fiber optic sensing solutions can be found across multiple industries and locations. In this post we will share how our products are applied for structural health monitoring of a bridge, wind turbine blades, partial discharge detection and underwater acoustics. When we monitor bridge health Our NovaFAZ SHM solution is FBG based measuring system and […]
