  1. Acreo Fiber Optic Center
    The optical fiber is a versatile tool that can be found in practically any business sector. Novel fiber optic solutions are developed in the newly formed Acreo Fiber Optic Center.
  2. Fiber Bragg Grating – the most powerful photonic crystal
    In 1978 Hill and co-workers observed the formation of permanent index gratings in optical fibers by exposure to visible light. The first Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG) had been discovered!
  3. The sense of fibers
    Fiber optics - the most competent sensor?
  4. Materials Design for  High Power Fiber Lasers
    Advanced materials optimization can prevent induced optical losses in high power fiber lasers.
  5. Harsh Environment Fiber
    Many potential applications for optical fibers and fiber-based components are currently limited by degraded performance  in harsh environments. This is why Acreo recently initiated a research project to make fibers withstand such conditions.
  6. Production of Specialty optical fibers
    About fiber drawing, fiber properties and specifications.
  7. Fiber lasers
    Versatile tools with a bright future
  8. Optical fibers: the future and beyond
    All of us are affected by the existence of optical fibers.
  9. Fiber optic resources at Acreo
  10. IRnova background
    IRnova was spun off from Acreo in March 2007. The spin off was a natural consequence of the successful commercialization of many years of research and development of QWIP (Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector) within Acreo.
  11. IRnova Technology and fabrication
  12. IRnova Manufacturing technology
