These are the world’s longest mid-IR fibers ever used for spectroscopy.
IRis-F1dual comb mid-IR spectrometer from IRsweep with a laser spanning the 1200 –1290 cm1 spectral range was coupled with 10m long ATR Mid-IR fiber probe from art photonics (Berlin, Germany).
We are happy to share our new video describing the measurements of sugar dissolution as a simple example how to apply fiber optic probes for FTIR spectroscopy in line.
V. Artyushenko, founder and chief technology officer of art photonics in Berlin, is seeking to detect tumour margins using label-free fibre spectroscopy instead of H&E stains. Surgeons struggle to identify the border where tumours end and healthy tissue begins. art photonics therefore develops fibre probes to enable spectroscopic distinctions of the tumour margins during operation. “It’s fast and can give answers to the surgeon in real time,” Artyushenko said. art photonics and its collaborators use distinct points in malignant and benign colorectal tissue to develop a combined fluorescence/absorption spectroscopy technique for cancer diagnosis.
art photonics GmbHis proud to announce a new product – NIRaman Combi fiber probe, which not only significantly expands the capabilities of the well-known FlexiSpec® product line, but also opens up new perspectives for the development of various Combi-probes.
Raman and NIR spectra contain qualitative and quantitative information on the chemical composition and physical properties of the substance. Both are able to supply critical product and process information during production.
Multichannel fiber optic probes (patent pending), have been developed by art photonics in cooperation with Measure Analyze Control. The first commercial version was designed for in situ NIR diffuse reflectance and Raman scattering for remote analysis of solids, powders, or liquids. The unique feature of the probe is that NIR and Raman channels can work simultaneously providing hybrid modelling opportunities that were impossible in the past. The probe is compatible with all Raman and NIR spectrometers, and their data fusion enables to enhance accuracy and sensitivity of process-control in-line. Flexible and robust fiber probe design allows to use them in harsh environment for a broad variety of industrial applications, including, but not limited to:
Reaction monitoring in real time/ in situ
Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) in line
Analytical characterization in science and for environment monitoring

Here we report the development of a new “Raman-needle” fiber probe, which was designed and manufactured as part of the RaSure project, funded by the EU “Eurostars” program.
About RaSure project:
Oral cavity cancer is a major public health issue, with annually 300.000 new cases. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, but adequate tumour removal is not achieved in 85% of the cases. This affects survival and leads to additional treatment of patients by radiotherapy or chemotherapy. The hands and eyes of the surgeon are insufficient for tumour delineation in the oral cavity. Significant improvement is needed to improve the surgical success rate. In frames of RaSure, a fully automated Raman spectroscopic device is under development to achieve complete tumour removal in oral cancer surgeries. The product will consist of a dedicated Raman-based tissue inspection device, the operational system and disposable fiber-optic needle probes.
The consortium, which includes three companies: art photonics GmbH, RiverD International BV and Erasmus MC was tasked to develop a fully automated Raman spectroscopic device to help surgeons achieve complete tumour removal in oral cavity cancer surgeries. The device is inspecting removed tissue to check if the tumour has been removed with a sufficient boundary of healthy tissue during the surgery. If not, the device will inform the surgeon where extra tissue should be removed to achieve complete tumour removal. The role of art photonicsGmbH is the development of the unique disposable Raman-needle fiber probe that can be inserted into the tissue multiple times and measure without loss of quality of the results.
The innovative needle probe is satisfied the strict requirements from clinicians: tiny diameter (less than 1 mm), biocompatible materials and robustness. The above-mentioned features allow Raman probe to be inserted into the tissue sample multiple times. The Raman needle probe prototypes were extensively tested together with consortium partners in Erasmus MD and in Charité Clinic in operational theatre. The prototypes on fresh resected human tongue samples are showed reliable performance in recognition of cancer and non-cancer samples. The differentiation between tumour (T) and normal (N) parts of tongue are clearly visible both on Raman spectra and on PCA models. The results are perfectly corresponding to the information received from surgeon.
MID IR-fiber probes coupled with Quantum Cascade (QC-) Laser and MCT-detector by mirror couplers
On the 1-6 February 2020 art photonics’ GmbH participated in the exhibition and conference – SPIE BIOS 2020 in San Francisco, where art photonics’ president Dr. Viacheslav Artyushenko gave three presentations entitled:
“Fiber solutions from 355nm to 16μm in advanced diagnostics and laser surgery”, “Mid-infrared fiber spectroscopy for detection of cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis” and “Multispectral tissue analysis with fiber probes in 0,3-16μm range for tumor margin guidance”
Dr. Artyushenko represented company’s latest developments of high technological fiber products for biomedical applications, including the innovative design of mid-infrared hook-shaped probe for arthroscopy (H2020 MIRACLE project).
One of the most popular devices demonstrated at our Booth at BIOS and Photonics West exhibition were QCL (nanoplus GmbH) pigtailed with our Polycrystalline (PIR)- and Chalcogenide (CIR)- fiber cables and spectroscopy fiber probes. PIR and CIR fiber cables enable efficient coupling with QC-Lasers and provide stable transmission under the fiber bending. Our booth visitors showed great interest in these products.
Within the MIRACLE project, art photonics GmbH developed the first prototypes of the unique hook-shaped fiber optic MIR probe for arthroscopy. The innovative MIR hook probe is based on the optical system of fibers and mirrors and satisfied the strict requirements from clinicians: tiny diameter (less than 3 mm), biocompatible materials and 90o angle hook shape. The above-mentioned features allow to reach distinct areas of cartilage for manual probing during the arthroscopy.
Two technical designs were engineered by art photonics. The first design enables multiple use of the probe due to high-resistant diamond tip. Second design solves the problem of low signal due to extra-sensitive disposable fiber loop on the end for single-time measurement.
The both prototypes were extensively tested together with consortium partners University of Eastern Finland on cartilage samples in Kuopio and showed reliable performance in recognition of crucial spectral markers of osteoarthritis.
The hook-shaped probe is essential part of the clinical device to be built in cooperation with technical partners as OptoPrecision GmbH, Nanoplus GmbH, IRIS and Norwegian University of Life Sciences and conform with the European Medical Device Regulation EU 2017/745.
Recently, our Polycrystalline (PIR-) Fiber Cables were announced on optics.org. To find the announcement, please visit: https://optics.org/products/P000022537
FlexyRay® product line from art photonicsGmbH includes unique High Power PIR-Fiber Cables for flexible delivery of CO- & CO₂ -laser radiation. Compared to hollow waveguides, PIR-fibers provide stable power transmittance under small bending radius. Special SMART treatment of PIR-fiber ends suppresses Fresnel reflection losses to enhance power transmission.
