Demonstrator Platforms

For each of its research tracks, B-PHOT has well-elaborated demonstrator platforms. Some examples are:

• Optical Fiber Sensors : different test equipment to put controlled stress forces on the optical fiber sensors
• Free form Optics : optical tables, opto-mechamanics to build proof-of concept demonstrators with the developed free form optics
• Lab-on-chip : lab platform to test the lab-on-chip functionalities
• Non-linear Photonics : continuous-wave and pulsed laser systems operating in the visible, near- and mid-infrared spectral domains, advanced pulse characterization equipment and high-performance power meters and spectrum analyzers to carry out nonlinear-optical experiments.
• Optical Spectrocopy : spectral broadband and laser sources and several optical spectrum analyzers operating in the spectral range between 250-1500 nm to study the absorption, fluorescence or scatter properties of the material under test.
• Photonics Integrated Circuits : nanopositioning setups for chip and probe alignment, and high-performance power meters, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers to test the performance of photonic integrated circuits.
