Optics11

Hogehilweg 1, Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, 1101 CA, The Netherlands

Overview

Optics11 builds advanced fiber-optic sensing platforms capable of detecting ultra-sensitive vibration and acoustic signals in harsh environments such as deep-sea installations and high-voltage grids. By “listening with light,” the systems identify subtle signatures well before they escalate into outages or security incidents, giving operators critical time to assess risks and coordinate responses. The company positions its technology as increasingly vital amid growing European concern over disruptions to subsea cables, pipelines, maritime trade routes, and electricity networks. Optics11’s solutions target infrastructure that is most vulnerable, offering early warning for both civilian and defense applications. The firm describes itself as a leader in fiber-optic sensing for protecting sea lanes, offshore assets, and energy supply chains. With fresh capital, Optics11 plans to accelerate productization, ramp up R&D, and broaden adoption of its platforms across Europe. While specific operating metrics such as revenue or user numbers were not disclosed, the company emphasizes its strategic role in bolstering Europe’s energy resilience and security.
