IOS offers our customers innovative technological solutions to real-world problems through a comprehensive products and services portfolio. IOS researchers have developed cutting-edge technologies, including fiber optic-based sensors for pressure, temperature, electromagnetic fields, and a wide variety of chemicals; acoustic emission sensors; advanced signal and image processing systems; specialty light sources; nonlethal weapons; and nondestructive visual and laser ultrasonic inspection systems.

We provide a full commercial line of innovative products for industrial nondestructive testing using laser ultrasonics. (hyperlink to Laser Ultrasound Products) The core technology in these systems is the advanced laser ultrasonic receiver. IOS offers three receivers on a common platform that are designed to meet the broadest range of customer requirements.

IOS has also developed FBG-based strain sensors for the non-invasive, non-destructive damage assessment and continuous monitoring of large area structures, such as aircraft, ships, spacecraft, and automobiles. Stand-alone detection systems were developed to detect vibration in aircraft/spacecraft structures, detect acoustic emission from crack formation and propagation, and measure structural static strain in unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles.

Our industrial expertise includes:

Non-Destructive Testing
On-Line Sensing and Monitoring
Quality Control/Inspection
Pressure and Temperature Sensing
