Functionalities
The optics laboratory has the required instrumentation to characterise CCD sensors and determine spectral responses between 300nm – 1100 nm.
Equipment
Our Optical Lab is equipped with instrumentation for high precision characterization of optical systems. The quality of optical assemblies and elements up to a diameter of 6” can be characterized with our Zygo interferometer and our Nikon autocollimator. To perform precision metrology measurements, we have several laser sources (Nd:YAG) and a buffered optical bench (size: 1,5 x 2,5 m). A thermally controlled vacuum tank also allows suppressing environment fluctuations in the low frequency regime, i.e. down to 1 mHz and it is routinely employed to characterize materials used in space applications (like Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastics) and opto-electronics equipment (like photodiodes or optical fibres) in a high stability environment.
List of services and rates
The laboratory (1/4 of the optical table) can be accessed at a market cost of 49,58 €/day.
The Philab access conditions are 30,99 €/day.
