If you look closely at our holiday card this year, you might notice a familiar tool in an unfamiliar setting. Yes, that is one of our probes in the wine glass! It is a little nod to who we are: even when we are celebrating, we never stop thinking about the science that brings us […]
Believe it or not, Christmas 2025 is fast approaching. For many, the holiday season is synonymous with traditional markets and the comfort of a hot cup of mulled wine. However, there is a genuine scientific reason why you should never let your Glühwein boil, and it goes beyond simple culinary advice. In our latest Application […]
The art photonics team is currently fully engaged at the 20. Herbstkolloquium Prozessanalytik, and with two days already behind us, we are thrilled with the productive atmosphere and the depth of the technical exchanges. The event kicked off with strong momentum, setting the stage for deep discussions on the future of process control. We were […]
In complex chemical analysis and biomedical diagnostics, relying on a single spectroscopic technique often results in a "blind spot." While Near-Infrared (NIR) offers speed, it frequently lacks specificity. Raman spectroscopy provides a precise molecular fingerprint but often battles fluorescence interference. Mid-IR offers excellent structural detail but is limited by shallow penetration depths. The Challenge: Spatial […]
art photonics GmbH, founded in Berlin in September 1998, is one of the worldwide leaders in development and production of specialty fiber products for a broad spectrum from 300 nm to 16 µm. Unique technologies of Polycrystalline Mid InfraRed (PIR-) fibers and Metal coated Silica fibers are used for assembly of various spectroscopy probes for medical diagnostics and industrial process control, in volume production of fiber for medical and industrial lasers, for different fiber bundles, etc. Since January 2024 art photonics GmbH is a member of NYNOMIC GROUP.
Raman Spectroscopy Diagnostics ex-vivo to detect tumor margins in 3D using the thinnest fiber probe. Raman Needle Probe penetrates in resected tissue ex-vivo to define oral cancer (SCC) margins for 1 cm depth within 1 s – measuring each 100 ms the ratio of water / lipids bands in HW-Raman spectrum (as its growth is SCC specific biomarker).
A multispectral fiber optic probe has been developed that enables simultaneous analysis of various liquid and solid samples using attenuated total reflection mid-infrared spectroscopy and fluorimetry. The probe design was optimized using ray-tracing simulation of the light propagation.
Technical evaluation of the probe has confirmed its output signal quality that was comparable to that of respective probes for single methods. The capability of the probe to deliver complementary chemical information from the same measurement point has been illustrated using model samples of biological tissue. Qualitative analysis of the biological tissue is one of the most important applications of the developed multispectral probe.
Remote measurement of mid-IR spectra for solids and powders is now available with art photonics Touch ATR fiber optic Probe for FTIR spectrometers. The probe has a flat top ATR crystal easy to press to soft solids or powders and get spectra from the surface without sampling. Touch ATR Probes are useful in Quality Control, research, forensic and many other applications. Probes are available either in chemically durable design with Diamond tip or for laboratory.
art photonics GmbH introduces new product – ATR fiber probe for harsh and hazardous environment (high temp, pressure, pH, vibration, etc.) with 12mm diameter shaft (for industrial application) and 6mm diameter shaft (for lab applications).
These Fiber Optic ATR-Probes can be used for process-spectroscopy either in Near- or Mid-IR range for in-situ and in-line reaction monitoring in a broad temperature range from -150° to +250°C. They resist to vacuum and high pressure up to 200Bar and can be coupled with FTIR or any other IR-spectrometers and spectral sensors for the automated process control.
Main features:
High throughput in selected ranges of Near- or Mid-InfraRed spectrum
ATR-crystal shaped for immersion in liquid flow without dead zone.
Robust for industrial and lab applications up to 250°C
Resistant to high pressure (up to 200Bar)
Resistant to aggressive mixtures
Compatible with all spectrometers and automated process-interfaces
EU Business News recently awarded art photonics GmbH with the title of Global Leaders in Mid-IR Fibre Optics 2020 in the German Business Awards. We caught up with this forward-thinking fibre optics company to discover how they came to be worldwide leaders in the field of fiber photonics. Read more
Viacheslav Artyushenko, founder of art photonics GmbH, is seeking to detect tumor margins using label-free fiber spectroscopy instead of H&E stains. Surgeons struggle to identify the border where tumors end and healthy tissue begins. His company therefore develops fiber probes to enable spectroscopic distinctions of the tumor margins during operation. ‘It’s fast and can give answers to the surgeon in real time,’ Artyushenko said.
IRsweep in a collaboration with Pfizer and art photonics, have investigated the possibility of using very long mid-IR fibers in a spectroscopic setup.
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.

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
