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.
