Optimal Start into 2012

Never before has the vario-optics team been involved in so many customer projects as over the last six months. In addition to the ongoing sensor projects, the activities within communications have been increasing. Currently, we are involved in more than ten projects.

We would like to highlight the optical PH-electrode of Metrohm. This sensor is based on spectral absorption which enables pH-value measure-ments of fluids with unrivalled accuracy and speed. By the end of last year, we had produced the first series of electro-optical circuit boards for this sensor. The product launch will be coincide with the Analytica trade show at Munich in April this year.

In March, Finisar Corporation presented a complete optical backplane demonstrator at their booth at the Optical Fiber Communications conference in Los Angeles. The demonstrator generated huge interest among customers and suppliers.
