Fiber Lasers for Oil Industry

!%NKT Photonics A/S%! of Birkerød, Denmark, has been awarded a volume contract to supply its low-noise Koheras Basik fiber laser modules to an undisclosed party for use in a seismic application within the oil industry. The Koheras fiber laser is characterized by a very low frequency and noise intensity, and inherent single-frequency operation. It has been used in the oil industry for exploration and for monitoring the structural integrity of pipelines, in the defense sector for acoustic detection, and in the wind turbine industry for Doppler sensing.
