DOTA - Optics and Associated Techniques

Research unit

Description

The Department of Optics and Associated Techniques (DOTA) has for mission to carry out studies and researches related to the use of the optical field (electromagnetic waves included between the average Ultraviolet (200nm) and the field of THz (1 THz - 300 microns) and to control the overall optical chain.

Thematics :
- optoelectronics: photodetection and nanophotonics,
- environment and signatures for optronic sensors,
- fiber laser, lidar and 3D imagers,
- active and passive remote sensing,
- adaptive optics,
- optical sensors and hyperspectral imagers.
