AOS Technology Ltd provides specialist engineering services and products in optical sensing and communications. Our in-house team is experienced in all aspects of instrumentation design and manufacture including optics, electronics, opto-mechanics and software. Our services range from concept formulation, via feasibility studies and proof of concept demonstrators to prototyping and full manufacture and we will work with you to minimise your risk and maximise your returns.

AOS Technology in-house products address a range of needs within and beyond the optical sensor community,

• world leading k-SCAN Fibre Bragg Grating interrogator family

• turn-key laser diode systems and diode lasers from 670nm to 2800nm

• high performance, low cost laser diode drivers and Peltier controllers

• dual-channel lock-in amplifiers for laser spectroscopy applications

• photodiode front-ends (pre and main amplification stages)

• FBGs and FBG sensors and wavelength standards

• wide range of passive optical components (couplers, isolators, circulators, patchcords etc)

AOS has a broad experience of participation in UK and EU funded collaborative research projects including:

• optical pressure and temperature measurements for gas turbines (OSSAC)

• derivative spectroscopy for gas leak visualisation (VOGUE)

• optical instrumentation for shoe production (SABOT, IRIST)

• in-cylinder spectroscopy for gasoline engines

• FBG strain sensors for aerospace applications (ACIDS)

AOS has won a DTI SMART award for the development of instrumentation for a full-field NDT technique (shearography) and was one of the first UK recipients of a Small Business Research Initiative (SBRI) Award.
