Today, 21 October, is the Day of Photonics. The date marks the day in 1983 when the General Conference on Weights and Measures fixed the speed of light at exactly 299,792,458 m/s. The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) started the Day of Photonics in 2014 to make the field more visible outside labs and companies. […]

art photonics Technical Note 007 Both polycrystalline silver halide fibers (PIR) and hollow waveguides (HWG) from art photonics transmit up to 85–90 % of CO₂ laser radiation (10.6 µm) through a 1 m high-power cable. Choose a PIR fiber when the cable must bend, move or run long distances: a full 360° loop costs only […]

art photonics will be represented at analytica China 2026 in Shanghai from 16 to 18 November 2026. Together with our local distribution partner, UniqueRay Technologies Limited (Uray), we will be presenting our specialty fiber-optic solutions for inline Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and laboratory spectroscopy at Booth # E6.6920. At art photonics, we design and manufacture […]

Behind every specialty optical fiber we manufacture and ship at art photonics, there is a dedicated team committed to getting every detail exactly right. Today, we are delighted to shine a spotlight on one of the essential people behind our production lines: Nicole, a Production Employee at art photonics. Recently marking her 5-year work anniversary […]

During active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystallization and drying, comprehensive process understanding demands simultaneous insight into chemical composition and solid-state structure. Operators routinely track two distinct parameters in real time: residual solvent or moisture content, and crystal polymorphism. Historically, monitoring both attributes in situ presented a practical instrumentation bottleneck. Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy excels at quantifying water […]

The simultaneous quantitative determination of dissolved Cu²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions is important in many fields. These include metallurgy, geology, industrial wastewater analysis and the monitoring of biotechnological processes. In many cases, their concentrations need to be measured directly at the sampling site or in-line during an operating process. The Challenge of Metal Ion Monitoring […]
