CUSTOMER'S BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES
"Our mission is to assist our customers through all the added value chain, from the initial idea up to the manufacturing line"
The customer's idea is used by OST as a guideline during all the co-design process to reach the technical and economic objectives of the client and to best meet the specifications of the application.
Thekey milestones include the following activities:
- a feasibility study
- engineering samples and prototypes
- technology transfer
WHY THE PHOTONIC TECHNOLOGIES
Optics and photonics are experiencing a period of strong growth, making innovative technologies accessible to the industrial world: medicine, transportation, aviation, mechanical, energy... are benefiting from this contribution in order to improve their efficiency.
Knowledge is at the center of this development and in the industrial world "to know" means "to measure."
The light is characterized by several properties: intensity, color (wavelength), coherence, phase and polarization. Each of these parameters can be used to measure quantities such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, concentration, weight, deformation, vibration, acceleration...
Taking advantage of the properties of light, OST can develop solutions that exceed the limits of traditional technologies: contactless measures, distributed measurements, simultaneous measurements of different parameters, are only a few examples of the wide variety of possible solutions.
PHOTONICS FOR YOUR APPLICATION
LED, Lasers and Fibre Optics pervade our every day lives, but how can we make sensors or measuring systems with these objects?
In some cases the free space propagation of the light emitted by a Laser diode or a LED can lead to the solution of contactless measurement problems, in other situations an innovative monitoring system can be developed thanks to the guided light in a fiber optic.
Here are some examples of physical parameters that can be detectced and measured in a non-conventional way thanks to the photonics technologies and the properties of light.
