PhotonFirst

We're pushing the boundaries of fiber optic sensing with our innovative chip-based solutions and show that on various events, trade fairs and online presentations. Recently our R&D director Thijs van Leest had the honour to present PhotonFirst's technology to a group of students from EESTEC - Electrical Engineering STudents' European assoCiation. In this presentation he lined out what fiber optic sensing is all about: 📐 Our technology enables precise measurements of strain, temperature, and other critical parameters. 🚀 Applications span across diverse sectors, including aerospace, defense, industrial, and medical. 💪 Our compact and robust systems are ideal for challenging environments.

What's it like to work in the photonics industry? Well, our colleague Hessel Tijseling can tell you all about it. As part of a larger career campaign by PhotonDelta, resulting in PhotonJobs (www.photonjobs.nl), Hessel was interviewed about the exiting world of photonics. And we have good news about a career at PhotonFirst, we have 5 open positions: ⚡ Electronics Engineer 💻 Software Engineer 🚀 Sales Engineer 🔬 PIC Packaging Engineer 📅 Technical Project Manager Come and join us! #photonics #fiber #smartsensing #integratedphotonics #fiberopticsensing #innovation #photonicintegratedcircuit #career #position #vacature #job

Last week a very interesting article on the development of a liquid hydrogen tank for use in commercial aircrafts has been published on CompositesWorld. We are proud to share our contribution to this project in cooperation with Somni Solutions and Nederlands Lucht- en Ruimtevaartcentrum. This cooperation was focused on "the development of new metering/sensing methods that minimize and prevent heat leak paths. In this part of the project, Somni Solutions and PhotonFirst are working closely with Royal NLR to develop an intrinsically explosion-safe sensor system for monitoring hydrogen applications, including LH2 tanks in aircraft." Photonfirst has focused on interrogator technology and embedding fibers into composites. The full article can be read here: https://lnkd.in/eTTcVjpH Stay tuned for more news about this project. Even better, visit us during JEC World 2025 (JEC Group, 4 - 6 March in Paris, booth 5F107), and inform yourself about our solutions. #photonics #innovation #partnership #lasertechnology #fiber #smartsensing #integratedphotonics #fiberopticsensing #fbg #jecworld2025

Last week VitalWear had the pleasure to have an article published on Bits&Chips, discussing their work on photonic integrated textiles for healthcare. PhotonFirst is proud to contribute in their innovations. VitalWear, a groundbreaking startup, develops photonic integrated textiles such as bed sheets, mattress covers or clothing, which enables continuous and autonomous patient monitoring with high patient comfort and with low effort for the care providers. These applications are embedded with fiber-optic sensors from PhotonFirst. VitalWear initially focuses on pressure ulcer prevention with smart sheets that can detect early signs of pressure ulcer formation. This allows for timely intervention and preventing painful wounds. It also significantly reduces the time that the nursing staff needs to spend on prevention protocols By combining cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of patient needs, Vitalwear is poised to improve healthcare and patient outcomes.
