MAÅGM is thrilled to embark on its adventure by offering a technology that aligns seamlessly with our purpose. As a young and motivated company, providing a mature and demonstrated technology is an ideal configuration!
Indeed, LOKI—an optical interrogator for remote geophysical sensors—already boasts a rich heritage of reliability, field demonstrations, and scientifically validated data. Developed over the past seven years through a collaboration between ESEO and IPGP, LOKI has been eagerly awaiting broader adoption within the community.
Its future lies now in becoming an integral part of our expanding product line, ensuring synergy and continued development to deliver the most accurate measurements.

LOKI
Dangerous locations are often precisely where one wants to deploy a sensor. Considering the deployment costs in such areas, avoiding sensor failure due to severe environmental conditions is crucial. The electronic components within sensors are frequently the weak points of geophysical instruments.
With the LOKI optical interrogator, sensors become electronic-less, and measurement readouts can be obtained from up to 50 kilometers away. This approach ensures system reliability without compromising real-time data availability.
LOKI is compatible with any geophysical sensor based on a displacement readout.
Inclinometers, seismometers, and strainmeters with over five years of heritage
have been successfully demonstrated—from underwater environments to the summits of volcanoes. These results have been published and acclaimed by the scientific community.
MAÅGM is proud to offer this cutting-edge equipment, developed by ESEO, to a wider community now.
