Optics11

Optics11 is a Dutch technology company that develops and manufactures advanced fiber-optic sensing systems used for precise measurement and monitoring in challenging environments. Based in Amsterdam, the company specializes in creating highly sensitive sensors that use light, rather than electricity, to detect physical changes such as pressure, strain, vibration, or temperature. This approach allows for extremely accurate, stable, and interference-free measurements, even in harsh or electromagnetically noisy conditions where traditional electronic sensors cannot operate effectively. Their technology is built on the principles of optical interferometry and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing, which together enable the capture of minute physical changes through variations in light signals transmitted within optical fibers. These systems are designed for applications across industries where reliability, durability, and precision are crucial — such as structural health monitoring of bridges and buildings, industrial machinery diagnostics, underwater sensing, and energy infrastructure monitoring. Optics11’s solutions are often integrated into broader monitoring systems to provide real-time insights and early warnings that help prevent failures, improve maintenance planning, and ensure the safety and longevity of assets. The company’s products reflect a focus on combining scientific innovation with practical engineering, offering modular, scalable solutions that can be customized to specific operational needs. By leveraging fiber-optic technology, Optics11 enables measurements over long distances, in corrosive or submerged environments, and in areas exposed to extreme temperatures or electromagnetic interference — making them suitable for both research and industrial use.
