SILICON PHOTONICS

AN OPTICAL SENSOR THE SIZE OF A CHIP

In November 2024 OKI announced an ultracompact photonic integrated circuit built with silicon photonics — complex optical circuits fabricated onto a silicon substrate using semiconductor manufacturing methods. Instruments that previously needed individual optical fibre connections shrink to roughly smartphone dimensions, with the low power consumption of an LSI and the economics of mass production. It brings optical fibre sensors, laser vibrometers, optical biosensors and optical transceivers within reach of far more applications.

OKI, Engineering collaboration that powers tomorrow’s photonics breakthroughs

CORE CAPABILITIES

DISTRIBUTED MONITORING WITH HIGH ACCURACY

OKI’s optical fibre sensing system uses Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (BOTDR) to track temperature and strain changes over long distances with pinpoint accuracy. Already proven in demanding environments, this technology is ideal for mission-critical monitoring.

REAL-TIME DETECTION

Detects microcracks, strain, and temperature shifts in real-time

5 KM SENSING RANGE

5 km sensing range per fibre channel

1 M DATA RESOLUTION

High-resolution data (1m intervals)

NON-INTRUSIVE AND RELIABLE

Non-intrusive, stable, and highly reliable
