Advanced and customised services for optical characterisation of materials and light sources. 

Eurecat’s Optics and Photonics Laboratory specialises mainly in identifying and characterising materials in the Vis and IR range.

We are a laboratory that has facilities for conducting experiments and tests for various fields in industry and for making laboratory-scale demonstrators or prototypes. We use photonic equipment and/or techniques to perform this analysis.

We provide material characterisation services based on interaction and behaviour between the material and light. Also customisation and type of lighting system as required on the basis of the spectral response obtained.

In addition, we analyse both liquid and solid, opaque or transparent materials and their characterisation on the basis of absorbance, reflectance or transmittance. We conduct studies such as prototype development with bespoke experimentation.

  • Spectroscopic techniques
  • Incoherent light source or laser techniques
  • Nano-, micro- and macro-level studies and characterisations
  • Characterisations, application of computer vision, identification of defects or foreign bodies in materials
  • Profilometry, multispectral vision by Vis or IR imaging
