Optical instruments and microscopy

The aim of this platform is to develop new microfabrication processes and to permit the access to high level instruments with an expertise in the following domains : atomic force microscopy (AFM), optics, thermal radiation. It also permits the data analysis and the generation of physical models.


The research activity around the platform of optical instruments and microscopy permits collaborations with research groups in the fields of microcomputer and nanofabrication, laser machining, preparation of surfaces and processing. The instruments allow a characterization in 2D and 3D of the topography of surfaces micro and nanostructured and constitute the basic instrumentation for some researches undertaken within the team.


The main research themes that benefit from the equipments offered by this platform are :
  • the surface charaterization of diffractive optical elements (scalar and vectorial) fabricated with use of micro and nanofabrication which design is based on iterative methods developed in the group
  • the study and the analysis of the physical interaction of high power lasers on matter
  • the observation, the identification of the provision and the thermal characterization of the integrated microcircuits (in opto-electronic and electronics)
  • analysis and the search for empirical models of prediction of the structuring of materials by processes laser


Enfin, le développement de la plate-forme est accompagné par une activité de veille technologique et de mise en place de nouveaux outils, par exemple en microthermographie et en analyse de microstructures vibrantes. Les collaborations étroites avec Irepa Laser et l’Institut Femto-ST stimulent ces développements.


Une activité de services à l’intention d’autres laboratoires ou d’industriels est assurée dans la mesure du possible. La liste des utilisations possibles étant non exhaustive, il est recommandé de nous contacter pour toute application, même non mentionnée, du moment qu’il y a compatibilité avec les caractéristiques techniques des équipements. Les demandes peuvent simplement être adressées par courriel.
