Advanced Optical Fiber Measurement: AMS Technologies Partners with Arden Photonics

AMS Technologies is partnering with Arden Photonics, a UK manufacturer specializing in optical fiber measurement and characterization, to distribute its products across Europe.

Arden Photonics develops precision measurement systems for optical fiber manufacturers, R&D laboratories, and other organizations working with standard and specialty fibers. Its solutions cover a broad range of measurement tasks, including fiber geometry, refractive index profiling, interferometric end-face inspection, modal content analysis, and multimode launch characterization

The portfolio addresses both established fiber technologies and increasingly complex specialty fibers such as hollow-core, multicore, and polarization-maintaining fibers.

Recent developments include the FGC-GH Fiber Geometry Measurement System for characterizing the geometry of complex and miniaturized specialty fibers, as well as the FGC Array Geometry Measurement System, which characterizes the geometry of 1D and 2D fiber array units.

By combining Arden Photonics’ measurement expertise with AMS Technologies’ technical support and European market presence, the partnership gives customers across Europe direct access to a comprehensive range of solutions for optical fiber characterization.

Customers will also have an opportunity to meet both teams at ECOC Exhibition 2026 in Málaga, Spain. AMS Technologies and Arden Photonics will exhibit together at booth 1079 from September 21 to 23, presenting optical fiber measurement solutions and discussing individual measurement requirements with visitors.
