Fiber Optic Sensors revolution the field of monitoring
Fiber optics offers an excellent technology platform to develop
high performance transducers for the critical sensing applications, thanks to their immunity from electromagnetic interference, impossibility to start fires or explosions, and resistance to corrosion.
Fiber Optic Sensors revolution the field of monitoring
Fiber-optic sensing is a technology that has transformed the field of sensing, offering many advantages over traditional sensing methods.
Fiber optic sensors can be manufactured as dielectric devices, which are inherently immune to electromagnetic interference and are not capable of igniting fires. In addition, FOS have fiber optics as their sensing element, so they have very small and compact dimensions that allows them to be easily integrated into any type of structural, industrial and even biomedical structure.
Fiber-optic sensors find applications in many fields because of their characteristics, their accuracy and the possibility they offer of being able to monitor numerous parameters in real-time, even over long distances.

Applications
Environmental Monitoring
ALITE offers solutions to create a fiber optic nerve system for low-frequency vibration, temperature, and humidity detection.
This type of monitoring system can be essential for early warning detecting early signs of instability in the snowpack or soil or rock mass. ALITE's fiber-optic sensors can be easily installed with minimal invasive impact to form a distributed network for continuous monitoring even in the harsh and isolated environment such as glaciers.
Glaciers
Avalanches
Landslides
Infrastructure Monitoring
Preventive maintenance of bridges, dams and railways is critical to avoid tragic situations of structural failure. This is possible by incorporating an ALITE fiber-optic nerve system into the infrastructure, which combines strain and vibration sensors along a fiber-optic cable to collect data on health status at various points.
