TC2 - Photonics - Aims
The aim of TC2 is to promote modern optical measuring techniques in their 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
