At Lumoscribe, we’ve always believed that innovation grows strongest when it’s shared.
This month, we had the pleasure of taking part in the EPIC Online Technology Meeting on Mid-IR Developments for Spectroscopy, Sensing and Monitoring, where our Director, Dr. Antreas Theodosiou, presented our work titled “Beyond 2 µm Grating Components for Sensors & Fiber Lasers.”
Rather than just sharing results, the talk aimed to show the journey behind the technology—why we are pushing into the mid-IR region, what challenges we’ve been tackling, and how these developments are starting to create new possibilities for sensing and laser applications.
Why Mid-IR Matters to Us
The mid-infrared spectrum is an exciting place to be. Its unique optical signatures make it valuable for so many fields:
-
detecting changes in harsh industrial environments
-
enabling new tools in biomedical diagnostics
-
improving precision in materials processing
-
unlocking cleaner, safer and more efficient fiber laser systems
For us, working in this wavelength range is not just a technical challenge—it’s a chance to help shape the next generation of photonic tools.
What We Shared During the Presentation
In his talk, Antreas walked the audience through our recent progress in:
-
developing mid-IR compatible fiber Bragg gratings
-
refining new inscription approaches for fluoride and doped fibers
-
sensing potentionals of those components
These are technologies we’ve been developing quietly and steadily, and it was rewarding to finally share them with the wider photonics community.
A Step Forward — But Not Alone
One of the messages we always try to convey is that advancing photonics is a collaborative effort.
Every step we take—whether it’s a new grating type, a better inscription recipe, or a novel application pathway—comes from a combination of teamwork, curiosity, and external feedback from our partners around Europe and beyond.
