If you are working with FBG sensing, we invite you to meet us at the European Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors (EWOFS) and see our I-MON interrogation monitors live. Our I-MON expert, Dr. Bjarke Rose, will be available at the stand to discuss how you can benefit from our fast, real-time spectrum monitoring of FBG sensor systems. What's on the show? Come and see our newly launched I-MONs. We are expanding our interrogation monitor offerings and introducing a brand new, compact I-MON 256 C (1520-1579 nm) both with and without electronics. The I-MON 256 C enables fast line scan rates

  Our I-MON Interrogation Monitor series for Fiber Bragg sensing systems consists of the following popular variants:   OEM – Our successful I-MON 256 OEM and its big brother, the I-MON 512 OEM with broader wavelength version. You make the electrical interface, and the pin-compatible diode arrays allow you to drive both versions with the same electronics.   USB – We make the electronics interface and pack the devices in a rugged EMC shielded housing, as we did with the well-proven I-MON 512E. This relatively new and cost-efficient series includes the I-MON 256 USB and the I-MON 512 USB. Measurement

  [h2]Digital Micromirror Device[/h2] Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have become more and more attractive in recent years because they are small, cost effective, easy to manufacture and insensitive to electro-magnetic interference. The basic principle of FBG sensing is to measure the reflected spectrum and to track the FBG peak positions. Due to the availability of low-cost tele-communications equipment, the most common and commercially available FBGs work in the 1550 nm range. However, this requires use of expensive 1550 nm InGaAs array detectors to interrogate the sensors. In this newsletter, we present a novel type of multichannel MEMS based spectrometer, where the

Dear reader, In this Ibsen Photonics Newsletter we address a wealth of different applications across all our product lines. For instance, the first section on our high efficiency PING gratings addresses such wide application areas as telecom wavelength selective switching, Raman spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, and fiber optical sensing. With one of the unique advantages of our fused silica transmission gratings being unmatched energy and power handling capabilities, this newsletter will include an update on the latest field results on this subject, which is especially relevant for users of our Phase masks and pulse compression gratings. The section on our
