Lasers & Optics

LASO

The goal of the LAS&O technology platform is threefold
  • to provide support to unexperienced people who are interested in optical methods for their own research
  • to lend small optical equipments (spectrometer, powermeter, ...) to occasional user
  • to gather large optical equipments
Expertise
Long experience with the realisation of optical devices (interferometers,  deflectometer, electro-optic sampling, microscopy, ...).
