[China Network Meter instrumentation R & D With the rapid development of optical communication technology, many new technologies are expanding demand for networking and other aspects of the optical fiber communication technology continues to push the one hand, the large-capacity, long-distance, high-speed transmission requirements development, On the other hand, the demand for optical fiber interconnection devices and optical fiber sensors has also greatly increased, which has greatly stimulated the development, development and production of optical fiber sensors.
With the increasing application possibilities in traditional terminal markets and the emerging opportunities in new application areas, it is predicted that by 2020, the global fiber optic sensor market is expected to reach US$3.5 billion.
Optical fiber sensors have attracted close attention and great attention from all countries in the world for their superiority and wide application, and have actively studied and developed them. At present, more than 70 kinds of physical quantities such as displacement, pressure, temperature, speed, vibration, liquid level and angle have been measured by optical fiber sensors.
According to the data, from the perspective of China's overall sensor field, the new rate of sensor development is 10 years behind that of the United States and Japan, and the industrialization level is 10-15 years behind. About 60% of sensor parts in China rely on imports, while core chips rely on imports as high as 80%. MEMS sensors used in the Internet of Things rely almost entirely on imports.
However, in terms of optical fiber sensing technology alone, the research results of China's researchers in the field of optical fiber sensing technology are very close to the world's advanced level, and the gap is continuously narrowing, and the process of localization is accelerating.
Recently, Shenzhen BoXiao FeiYang Technology Co., Ltd. announced that its technical team has successfully developed the world's first flexible fiber optic sensor and officially put into production.
Compared with traditional rigid sensors and flexible resistance sensors that are monopolized by companies in the United States and other countries, Boxun’s flexible optical fiber sensors have anti-electromagnetic interference, high accuracy, fast response, good repeatability, high stability, and ultra-low cost. Advantages can be used in areas such as body wear, smart home, VR data gloves, and human motion capture.
In actual use, the traditional rigid sensor is difficult to meet the needs of applications such as close to the human body, and the traditional flexible resistance sensor has the advantage of good fatigue resistance, but poor repeatability, poor stability, and low accuracy.
The company's founder, Yin Leqiong, integrated the resources of production, research, and social capital. After years of efforts, the flexible optical fiber sensor successfully developed overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional rigid and flexible resistance sensors, and has reached the leading level in the world. The sensor has ultra-high precision and high signal strength, with independent intellectual property rights.
