NordicQCI – Nordic Quantum Communication Infrastructure

Sweden is now launching an exciting new quantum initiative in which quantum communication infrastructure connecting Sweden with Finland and Estonia will be built.
Project

Innovative offshore cable solutions

The aim of the project is to reduce costs and increase the profitability of offshore energy installations through the development of dynamic cables. The development is done by simulating how the cable moves using fiber optics and …
Project

Hydrogen leak detection using fiber optics

Hydrogen is becoming increasingly important for clean energy and industry. However, the use of hydrogen also presents safety challenges. This project developed a sensor for monitoring hydrogen leaks over long distances.
Project

Graphene-coated optical fibers for sensor applications

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 …
Project

DAS for vibration monitoring and passive seismic exploration of rock

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 …
Project

PhotonHub - training and innovation support in photonics

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

Pressure sensors for machine integration and harsh environments (fiber

Fail-safe machinery is fundamental to industrial competitiveness, and monitoring of equipment condition is crucial. In this project, we developed fiber optic pressure sensors for integration in heavy machinery.
Story

Meet our scientists

We have been conducting research for 20+ years in photonics and optical fibers that can be used as sensors. We have two supporting laboratories, one in Kista (Stockholm) and one in Hudiksvall. Our researchers have deep expertise i…

Distributed Acoustic Sensing – Turn telecom fibres into microphones

DAS is a new technology for using fiber optic cable as a sensor to measure temperature and vibration, e.g., in bedrock or underwater. The technology transforms optical telecom fiber into a long series of fiber optic hydrophones ca…
Expertise

Quantum Technologies

Quantum technology stands on the threshold of a breakthrough that will reshape our entire society. For many organizations in both the public and industry sectors, it's no longer a question of if, but when and how to take the step …
Expertise

Fiber optic sensors

Fiber optic sensors are insensitive to electromagnetic fields, can be interrogated at a distance, and can withstand harsh environments.
Expertise

Fiber optics

Want to measure temperature at hundreds of positions in a harsh environment? Do you need to bring intelligence into systems where you can't use electricity? Do you want to develop new solutions for minimally invasive surgery? Then…
