Building a community

Optical fiber sensor technologies become nowadays more and more applied into real field applications. Even though the technology awareness has strongly increased during the past years, there still is a major lack in market and technology transparency:

The opticalfibersensors.org platform tries to increase the market and technology transparency by establishing a community platform on which all actors active in the optical fiber sensing landscape can submit industry and research related information.

The platform uses a self-feeding system that allows registered members to submit their information online using a personalised log-in account. In this way, a flexible and fast communication channel towards the optical fiber sensing community and potential end customers can become established.

The platform contains the following portals:

news&analyses, providing technology as well as market insights
business brief portal, on which companies can post their press releases (title and link)
product portal, on which companies can launch their new products
industry portal, where companies present themselves
research portal, on which research institutes can list their expertise and activities
upcoming events, such as conferences, courses, exhibitions, workshops and lectures
related links portal, on which links to other related websites can be found
