Projects in Fiber optics and photonics

Optical fiber coatings are essential for the performance and reliability of the optical fiber in application. In this project, RISE developed a nanocomposite coating using graphene oxide and polyimide, and validated its potential for extended temperature durability and enhanced performance in fiber…

The present project is a feasibility test that focuses on the exploration and characterization of the mining site of Malmberget via an acoustic technique based on optical fibers (Distributed Acoustic Sensing, DAS). It is a unique opportunity to evaluate fiber optic sensing in parallel to traditiona…

Fiber optic sensors are well adapted for applications in the aerospace industry. The project has developed and demonstrated composite materials with embedded fiber optic sensors.

Unlike traditional X-ray film, today's digital detectors are rigid, which means that they can't be used to analyze three-dimensional surfaces. This project developed technology for flexible digital X-ray detectors.

Photonics, the science of light, powers everything from cameras and traffic signals to medical and telecom systems.

The Swedish steel industry is a world leader in advanced special alloy steels. This project developed innovative sensors for monitoring steel production for higher quality and reduced consumption of raw material and energy.

For the development of robust, rotating systems - the optical fiber sensors are very useful. Due to their immunity to electromagnetic interference, robustness in rough environments and their ability for rapid and relevant measurements, as well as the factor that the fibre can be embedded in other m…
