Performance comparison between FOS and PZT AE sensors
The white-paper written in collaboration with CETIM operated by ANDRA is out! Our optical acoustic emission system OptimAE is ready to tackle difficult measurements in harsh environments, with performance comparable to the state-of-the-art electrical systems. ...
Successful sea trial of Optics11 fiber optic hydrophone array
Major milestone ✔ This month we had a successful sea trial of our 4 node hydrophone array. After years of development and several iterations of the individual sensors and readout we proved our array is capable of detecting underwater sound sources up to hundreds of...
Experiment to quantitatively compare the performance of five state of the art sensors
Elastic guided waves are carriers of information of the (change in) condition of plate-like structures like windturbine blades, airplane wings and road surfaces on bridges. To measure these guided waves we do not have to use piezos. Other sensors offer interesting...
Fiber optic seismic sensors detected the Norcia earthquake
Our fiber technology was used in a study on optical fiber acceleration sensors by the University of Sannio in Italy. The seismic sensors were able to accurately measure the Norcia earthquake in 2016. Congratulation on the publication Andrea and Marco! The full...
Optics11 presents fiber optic acoustic monitoring demonstrator at IWSHM
In this video made at the IWSHM conference in San Francisco our CEO Niek Rijnveld demonstrates our fiber optical acoustic sensor, by tracking individual air bubbles in a vertical tube filled with water.
Experiment with Optics11 nanosensors
Inholland Composites performed an experiment together with our colleague Mark Jacobs. During an informal meeting, initiated by Kampinga, Inholland’s Innovation Director, the suggestion was made to set up an experiment to investigate the production readiness for...
