Medical & Biotechnology
IFOS has developed advanced technology for instrumenting needles and catheters used in image-assisted biopsies and surgeries. By integrating small fiber Bragg gratings, our smart surgical tools provide real-time data on shape, tip position, and force, compatible with MRI, ultrasound, and CT imaging. This enhances precision in minimally invasive procedures, leading to improved patient outcomes and clinical efficiency.
Aerospace
IFOS provides fiber-optic interrogators and gyroscopes designed to endure the extreme conditions of space. Our technology supports structural health monitoring, prognostics, and nondestructive testing, offering exceptional performance in harsh environments with minimal size, weight, and power requirements.
Energy, Manufacturing, & Infrastructure
IFOS optical fiber and photonic sensing systems measure temperature, static load, dynamic strain, and acoustic emissions, crucial for nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT and NDE) of energy infrastructure like boreholes, wind turbines, and nuclear plants.
Our advanced photonic sensing platform, designed for extreme conditions, offers real-time automated monitoring to replace labor-intensive inspections in nuclear and other power plants.
