F4E and Micronor have developed a high-resolution fiber optic incremental encoder system which can function in a high magnetic environment. The all electronically passive design enables many potential applications where electronic based position encoders cannot be used. Micronor and F4E are currently  working to achieve radiation resistance encoders that meet ITER requirements.

Technology assets

• ability to provide precise and accurate measurements with long range sensing;
• impervious to EMI/RF, radiation, high voltage or magnetic fields;
• applications in fields where basic electronic encoders can’t operate thanks to its all electronically passive design;
• available for further adaptation and fine tuning to meet specific requirements.
