Depuis 2011, une plateforme SAL (Synthetic Aperture Ladar) a été développée et testée en laboratoire à l’Institut National d’Optique (INO). L’INO souhaite maintenant évaluer la possibilité d’utiliser un tel système d’acquisition pour des applications réelles de cartographie urbaine, notamment de modélisation 3D intérieure. Actuellement, les balayeurs laser (i.e. LiDAR) sont couramment exploités pour réaliser de […]

In this project a software will be developed to model the propagation of light in biological tissues and different types of events that may occur while light is interacting with the medium. The modelling is based on tracing a large number of photons launched in the tissue and applying a stochastic model for the possible […]

La présence de polluants en faible concentration dans les eaux municipales est un réel problème dû aux rejets industriels et à l’utilisation croissante de produits pharmaceutiques et cosmétiques. Les techniques de détection des micropolluants nécessitent des équipements sophistiqués, couteux et demandent des techniciens qualifiés pour les faire fonctionner. L’absence d’équipements portatifs, robustes, qui pourraient être […]

Monitoring of wildland fires through infra-red remote sensing has become increasing of interest to the wildland fire management community, and quality scientific analysis of the capabilities of such sensors is critical if they are to be used in any operational way. In 2019 a joint burning experiment was carried out over several days. In 2019 […]

The research objectives are to better understand the limitations of a new particle sizing system in terms of accuracy on particle size, of accuracy on size distribution, of accuracy on particle concentration and finally of size dynamic range. During the research project, the sources of the limitations will be identified and improvements to the technology […]

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive laser-based optical technique that provides information on the molecular composition of biological tissue. Using this technique, it is possible to distinguish different types of tissue and use this information to develop prognostic tests to evaluate, for example, how a patient will respond to a specific therapy. Combined with other spectroscopy […]

When light interacts with matter, different effects may take place, depending on the particular characteristics of both light and matter. The result of this interaction, typically a quantitative change in the characteristics of the light (i.e., intensity, wavelength, phase), can be used to measure the presence of a particular specimen of interest. Specifically, Surface-enhanced Raman […]
