TC2 - Photonics - Aims
The aim of TC2 is to promote Modern Optical Measuring Techniques in its development (theory, bases and application), which are based on the Detection and/or Observation of an Interaction of Photons or Electromagnetic Radiation with an Item under test.
Main fields of interests are:
Emphasis of the Measuring Procedures
- Spectroscopy (Fluorescence, Raman, etc).
- Interferometry (White-Light and Laser-Interferometry, Speckle, OCT, etc.)
- Modulating Techniques (Pulse, Doppler, FM etc.)
- Structured Illumination Techniques
- Image Sensing (Camera-Based Sensors)
- Confocal Measurements
- Wave Front Sensors
- Deflectometric Measurement
Emphasis of the Development
- Miniaturization of Optical Measurement Systems (e.g. Integrated Optical Systems, Fibre-Optical Sensors, Laser Sensors)
- Multi-Sensorial Systems
- Intelligent and Self-Inspecting Systems
- Scalable Systems
- Fibre Optics and Photonic Crystals
- New Light Sources and Detectors
- Simulation and optic design
Emphasis of the Application Fields
- Life Science (Medicine, Environment, Pharmacy , Biology, Food etc.)
- Production Technology
- IT-Systems
- Traffic
General Interest
- Comparison of Optical Systems in Competition with other Measuring Techniques
