Spectroscopy in Industry
To simplify Reaction Analysis, we recommend using flexible light guides in your laboratory setup for spectroscopic measurements in-line without sampling. Real-time analysis of the process in lab reactors provides a continuous data flow, saving you time and revealing process details for perfect research results. In-line reaction monitoring is a powerful tool for optimizing process parameters and stabilizing and improving product quality. A sampling-free and cost-effective solution can be realized using fiber probes in all branches of chemical and food production.
- Robust and reliable probes for measurements in UV-Vis-NIR spectral range: Reflection Probes, Transflection Probes
- Custom cables up to 200m length: Silica Cables
- Diffuse Reflection Probes designed specially for spectroscopic analyses of powders, pastes and films: Diffuse Reflection Probe
- Specialized line of Mid-IR range Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Probes for molecular analysis: ATR Probes
- Adaptation of probes to your individual process including installation and after-sale service as well as customizing for harsh environment: Development of customized products
The straight-forward approach and transparency of the process boosts production efficiency and performance. All the while, continuous process monitoring improves the quality of your products and safety of production.
Spectroscopy in Lab
Modern chemical production requires process analytics that can be organized remotely. We at art photonics offer to equip your production site with flexible fiber optic probes for remote in-line process monitoring without sampling, thus saving time and optimizing workflow. In-line measurements using fiber optic probes saves time and costly investments associated with sample preparation. Using flexible fibers gives valuable insights (e.g. creation of byproducts, temperatures and reaction rates) which shed light on the chemical reactions taking place.

Laser Beam Delivery in Lab
Profit from our novel strategy based on flexible beam delivery for any laser (including QCL) to position sample and system as conveniently as possible and perform the desired research safely, avoiding open laser beams in the laboratory. To ensure safety in the workplace and avoid open laser beams while reducing alignment issues, we provide Laser cables with associated Refocusing Units:
- High Power Silica Fiber Cables
- Flexible Power Delivery for CO and CO2 laser
- Fiber Coupler for CO and CO2 lasers
Any fiber optic cables for laser radiation delivery can be customized at art photonics to meet the needs of the research & development environment where tapered fibers, novel coupling and mixed bundles are required. These include AR coating, cables with SMART surface (specialized fiber microstructuring) or special connectors. We offer solutions to use our fiber optic cables in combination with:
- Collimating & Refocusing Objectives
- Alignment set for CO and CO2 laser coupler
Art photonics is proud to be the first fiber optic company to provide fiber coupling for quantum cascade lasers (QCL). The optimal laser delivery solutions for mid-IR range QCLs are silver halide polycrystalline infrared (PIR) fibers (4.0 – 18.0µm) and hollow waveguides (HWG). Our specialists will carefully examine the characteristics of your QCL to find the optimal waveguide type and parameters for you.
