Integrated photonic sensing

PhotonFirst

PhotonFirst is a Netherlands-based pioneer in integrated photonic fiber-optic sensing. It pairs Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors with chip-based interrogators built on Photonic Integrated Circuits to measure strain, temperature, pressure, shape and vibration. Its sensors are passive and intrinsically safe, enabling deployment in demanding aerospace, automotive, medical, energy and infrastructure environments, with a focus on compact, scalable, volume-producible systems.

OgMentum represents PhotonFirst across its regions, providing local sales, application engineering and support so you get the right product backed by responsive service. Our engineers can help you select, configure and integrate the right solution for your application.

FBG Fiber-Based Sensors

FBG Fiber-Based Sensors

Passive optical-fiber sensors using Fiber Bragg Gratings to measure strain, temperature, pressure, vibration and shape; many sensors can be daisy-chained on a single fiber.

Chip-Based FBG Interrogators

Chip-Based FBG Interrogators

Interrogator systems built on Photonic Integrated Circuits that read out FBG sensors; the chip-based design yields compact, rugged units suited to shock- and vibration-heavy environments.
