Know-how

Here you will find fundamental knowledge and in-depth expert know-how from a wide range of technology fields. Our insights not only explain the principles behind optical systems, but also highlight their practical applications and innovations across industries.

Fiber-Optic Sensing Technology

Optical sensing based on fiber optics has its origin in optical data transmission technology. Now well-established as an industrial-capable sensing technology, parameters such as strain, temperature, pressure, and acceleration are measured. You’ll find compact explanations here for different measurement techniques in a variety of applications.

UV Technology

UV light is used in industry for a wide range of purposes: in manufacturing for curing and drying UV-sensitive coatings and adhesives; in the pharmaceutical and food sectors for sterilizing food and packaging; and for vitamin D generation in freshly harvested mushrooms, for example. High-energy pulsed sources are also used for sintering conductive metallic inks in printed electronics. Various application examples for UV irradiation and high-energy pulsed broadband UV light are provided here.
