For Polytec, temperature monitoring encompasses a variety of technologies and applications.
Contact-based measurement technology based on fiber optics, which is used in chemical process engineering and research; non-contact camera-based solutions covering a wide infrared range for industrial quality assurance and safety engineering; or classic thermography applications—ask us about your application and we will find the solution.
In addition to pure measurement technology, we also offer high-precision infrared sources such as blackbody radiators for camera and sensor development and IR simulators, for example for calibration and simulations in military electro-optical sensor technology.

How fiber-optic temperature measurement helps develop Power-to-X technologies for the energy transition
Fiber-optic systems measure temperatures across fields, excelling where many sensors, compact size, and low thermal mass are needed—one 150 µm fiber can replace hundreds of sensors.
Distributed fiber-optic temperature and strain measurement with extremely high spatial resolution
Sampling of the Rayleigh scattering along a length of optical fiber allows the realization of a distributed sensor system where every point along the fiber acts as a sensor. This novel method allows ...
Fiber-optic sensing in basic research
Friction clutches are used in millions of automobiles to transfer the engine’s torque to the drivetrain. However, the physical processes involved in frictional power transmission are still not completely u…
Fiber-Optic Temperature Measurement in Chemical Process Engineering
Conventional measurement methods quickly reach their limits when electromagnetic immunity, high measurement density, or chemically aggressive environments are required
