Introducing the FlexiSpec Combi Fiber Optic Probes

In the demanding fields of bio-pharma and advanced R&D, real-time data is essential. Traditionally, securing comprehensive analytical data meant physically switching between different spectroscopic setups, such as ATR, NIR, and Raman. This fragmented approach not only slows down critical processes but also introduces a higher risk of sampling errors. Why run three separate analyses when […]

Application Note: Identification of Organic and Pharmaceutical Powders

Real-time, in-line powder identification usually means a trade-off between speed and accuracy. We proved it doesn't have to. We recently teamed up with our Nynomic Group partner, m-u-t GmbH, to release a joint Application Note. The goal was simple: build a compact, field-ready NIR setup capable of analyzing complex organics directly in the bulk material, […]

PIR fiber full circle production

Full manufacturing cycle of polycrystalline fibers in Berlin​

art photonics has implemented a full production cycle for PIR (polycrystalline infrared) fibers. The process begins with the controlled preparation and homogenization of halide salts, ensuring precise stoichiometry and purity. These raw materials undergo thermal synthesis to form the polycrystalline structure, followed by extrusion under high pressure to create preforms. The preforms are then subjected to fiber drawing using advanced extrusion and stretching techniques, allowing us to produce fibers with a wide range of diameters (from 300µm to 1000µm) and optimized optical properties. Core/Clad PIR fibers are transparent over a broad spectral range 3 – 17 μm.​

One of the key characteristics of PIR fibers is their low optical loss without absorption peaks across the specified spectral range. For CO₂ laser cable production, art photonics applies a proprietary SMART end-face processing technology to suppress Fresnel reflection and maximize transmission efficiency.​

The PIR fibers are used for high-performance optical cables and probes, designed and manufactured in-house at art photonics for applications in spectroscopy, thermal sensing, and industrial process monitoring.​
