Kloé, a photonics company based in Montpellier, France, created from the research in photonics and materials for optics, celebrates its 10 years on january 2011.

The core of Kloé business now involves production and commercialization of laser lithography systems, with high resolution and high aspect ratio, dedicated to rapid prototyping in microelectronics, integrated optics, microlenses, microfluidic and structuring surface. Monitoring and gas detection for oil industry are also a large part of our company's activity.
Optics and photonics R&D is still an important part of Kloé's activity. The company currently owns more than a dozen patents, essentially for optical integration.

Kloé finalized several contracts with new prestigious customers during July. Presently, Kloé signed new contacts with L’Oréal, Valéo, Thales Optronics, Onéra and Cilas.

The company has also been approached by Airbus, Total, Genopole, Thales Angenieux and Thales Alenia Space, with whom negotiations are still in progress. This interest is motivated by the large competence of Kloé team in high resolution direct laser writing, in development of new optical materials and in optical fiber and integrated sensors.

Kloé invites you to attend the exposition and demonstration of their high resolution «Dilase» range laser writers, during the Photonics West 2010 in San Francisco, on January 26, 27, and 28, 2010.

These demonstrations will take place at booth 1823-E, South Hall, Moscone center.

In addition, Kloé presents two other UV LED exposure and masking systems: the UV-KUB and the K-ILU.

A l'occasion du salon Laser World of Photonics MUNICH 2009 du 15 au 18 juin 2009, Kloé vous invite à assister à la présentation et démonstration de ses équipements de lithographie par laser de haute résolution de sa gamme Dilase (voir la vidéo de démonstration du Dilase 750 ), ainsi que de l'UV-KUB, un insolateur/masqueur à LED UV.

Les démonstrations auront lieu sur le stand 479-1, Hall B1.

New techniques of measurement and control of very low temperatures by optical fibers.

Kloé has developed a new system of temperature measurement by optical fibers to monitor the operation of machinery, piping and storage tanks operating at cryogenic temperatures.

The system called "K-BGS monitoring unit," has been validated in real conditions during tests at cryogenic temperature (liquid nitrogen) of a line test from a single flexible pipe designed to transfer offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) on the production site Trait of Technip, a world leader in the manufacture and installation of flexible pipes for offshore oil and gas.

The optical components and systems dedicated to the detection of explosive gas leakages developed and patented by Kloé under the name K-BGS are in validation phase with one of the european leaders in oil and gas industry. After two years of development and positive tests, the industrial environment validation phase begins.
