The FOP-M High Pressure is a fi ber optic pressure sensor designed mainly for
applications where high pressure conditions can be found such as in aerospace
and defense. It is also a useful tool for general industrial applications
in harsh and hazardous environments.
Designed to operate in high-pressure conditions, where standard sensors fail, the
FOP-M High Pressure sensor offers immunity to EMI/RFI, a small size, reliable measurements
under harsh conditions, high accuracy, and resistance to corrosive environments.
Research engineers in aerospace, defense, and different industrial areas may now
improve process and product technology by monitoring the performance of specifi
c properties over time that will provide accurate information on changes in
pressure during the operation, the manufacturing process or throughout the lifetime
of a product. The use of the FOP-M High Pressure sensor allows a complete
pressure analysis in the most challenging environments, especially those characterized
by high pressure levels.
The FOP-M High Pressure fi ber optic pressure sensor is based on proven Fabry-
Perot interferometer technology. The sensors unique design is based on defl ection
measurement of a silicon diaphragm, as opposed to more conventional stress
measurement techniques. Pressure creates a variation in the length of the Fabry-
Perot cavity and our fi ber optic signal conditioners can consistently measure the
cavity length with high accuracy under all adverse conditions of temperature,
EMI, humidity, and vibration.
