Research and innovation in fiber optics

Acreo Fiber Optic Center is a competence center that spans from fundamental materials and components technologies in fiber optics to industrial applications and sensing solutions. The Center was created in 2007, based on the competence and resources at Acreo, four university partners, and around 20 industrial partners.

The Center carries out the following Research projects:

Advanced optical fibers
fiber for harsh environment, microstructured fiber, ..

Multifunctional fiber components
high speed pulse control, radar components, ..

Fibers in life science
OCT, laser ablation, sampling, microfluidics, ..

Fiber sensors
distributed sensing, OTDR, low cost sensing, ..

A number of confidential industrial development projects are also carried out within the Center.

Partners

We are partners from industry, university and the public sector, with Acreo as the coordinating partner.

The Center's industrial partners represent different industrial sectors, including telecommunications, medical technologies, defense, manufacture and instrumentation. The four academic partner groups are located at KTH, Mid Sweden University and Karolinska Institute.

An Institute Excellence Center

The Center received an Institute Excellence Center award from Vinnova, SSF and KK-foundation in 2007.
