Fiber Optics
One of the most important industries in Sweden is the process industry. At the same time it consumes a significant amount of energy which effects both environment and economy. Picture the possibility to make it eco-friendly and more profitable at the same time? At Acreo we can, and we do.
This is just one of countless areas where our expertise within Fiber Optics makes a difference.
Acreo has been active within fiber optics since the early 1990s. Our expertise covers the entire range of Fiber Optic technologies from manufacturing of specialty fiber, through designing and making components and fiber optic sensors, to complete system solutions with fiber optics as an integral part.
Want to turn tomorrow's challenges to future solutions? Welcome to Acreo, we have the expertise and the lab facilities. Visit us in Kista or Hudiksvall or give us a call.
How can Fiber Optics improve healthcare or the environment? Walter Margulis, one of Sweden’s most well-known scientists in fiber optics answers some hot questions in this interview.
Fibertronix
The spin-out company Fibertronix serves an international market with specialty optical fiber, primarily targeting harsh enviroment sensing solutions.
Hermetic Fiber
A process for making optical fibers coated with hermetic carbon, combined with polyimides or high temperature acrylate, was developed within Acreo Fiber Optic Center.
Proximion
Proximion, a spin-out from Acreo, is the leading provider of components and subsystems based on Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBGs).
Applications lab and measurement services
Acreo has a wide range of fiber optic instrumentation and measurement systems, and a laboratory for R&D in fiber optic components and applications.
Fiber Bragg gratings
Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) are in-fiber mirrors. They are a workhorse of fiber optic sensing technology, as well as an indespensible tool in telecom.
Acreo Fiberlab
Laboratory for research, development and production of specialty preforms, specialty fibers and cables.
Current Projects
Fiber lasers and components for fluoresence microscopy
The European project CHARMING aims at developing compact and fully fibred visible lasers for fluorescence spectroscopy and other biomedical applications.
Laser methods for automatic scrap metal sorting
Automatic and accurate scrap metal sorting in recycling plants is a challenge with large potential savings in economy and environment. LIBS technique provides one key ingredient.
Cost effective glass fiber for solar lighting
Fiber optic solar lighting systems can provide natural daylight in buildings, road tunnels, parking garages, and other buildings.
High precision distance sensing
With a fiber optic probe, we measure distances with a precision of 20 nanometer.
Process control in steel plants
In a collaboration with LKAB, SSAB, Swerea Mefos and others, we develop online monitoring of temperature and process conditions in blast furnaces or steel converters.
Finished Projects
Nanosecond polarization control
Acreo and KTH developed unique technology for all-fiber high-speed control of polarization. Applications are found in e.g. q-switching of lasers,
Low photodarkening glasses
Understanding the mechanisms of photodarkening enable fiber lasers with higher powers and longer operating lifetimes. In this research project, we provided, for the first time, an full explaination to the process.
Fiber Optic Solutions
In your industrial or application environment, you need more than an optical fiber sensor. Acreo develops the entire instrument, customized for your application.
Fiber Optic Sensors
Fiber optic sensing offers many opportunities. They can provide cost-efficient sensing in a wide range of applicaitons and offer unique technical performance.
Fiber Components
Fiber optic components bring down system loss, decrease assembly cost, make systems more robust and enable unique functions.
Speciality Fiber
Hermetic and high temperature rated fibers for use in oil and gas industry, preform glass for high power lasers, fibers for power delivery applications, and microstructured fibers for sensing and components. These are some specialities at Acreo.
Acreo Fiber Optic Center
An Institute Excellence Center in fiber optics. 20 industrial partners, a number of university groups and Acreo, in a joint effort to develop and implement fiber optic solutions and specialty optical fibers.
