LAS&O - Lasers & Optics

The goal of the LAS&O technology platform is threefold

to provide support to unexperienced people who are interested in optical methods for their own research
to lend small optical equipments (spectrometer, powermeter, ...) to occasional user
to gather large optical equipments

Long experience with the realisation of optical devices (interferometers, deflectometer, electro-optic sampling, microscopy, etc).
