Cryogenic Process Sensors

Cryogenic Systems

Cryogenic systems, such as those in superconducting magnets, quantum devices, and helium liquefaction, operate at extreme low temperatures (20K to ~77 K).

Traditional FBG optical fiber sensors are inert at these temperatures, but Proximion have developed a specialised FBG sensor which retains temperature sensitivity at cryogenic conditions.

Unique Features

  • Temperature measurement from 20K-room temperature.
  • Little Drift or hysteresis during thermal cycling.
  • Low signal levels and noise floors.
  • Vacuum compatibility for use in cryostats.

Applications

  • Quantum & microchip cooling.
  • Superconducting magnets (MRI, particle accelerators).
  • Cryogenic storage vessels for liquified gases.
  • Space instruments and sensors.

Proximion’s Strength

Proximion has extensive experience in the deployment of FBG optical sensor systems in industrial and critical environments. Our key competence is to understand the application requirements to design, manufacture and deploy solutions specific to the customer’s need.

Such solutions provide real-time, accurate data for smarter decision-making, improved safety, and optimized performance. With proprietary calibration algorithms, temperature sensors from Proximion are pre-characterized and traceable.

The interrogation systems are optimized for low noise and fast response, giving clear, reliable real-time readings over extended fiber runs. Their adaptability and reliability make them the preferred choice for modern sensing solutions for today’s demands to optimise efficiency, enhance sustainability and increase safety.
