“From an industrial point of view, our collaboration with B-Phot is interesting, because they have no problem meeting deadlines..."
With its micro-optical design platform, its cyclotron based deep-proton writing, and its large-scale micro-optical measurement centre in clean room conditions B-Phot is currently among the world-leaders in optical modelling, optical characterization, low-cost rapid prototyping , and proof-of-concept demonstration of micro-optical modules and has research collaboration agreements with top-level research groups in Europe, in the United States, Australia, and Asia.
The instrumentation and metrology platform has comprehensive competence in optical metrology in general, and in quantitative optical measurements and measurement standards in particular.
Deep Proton Writing is our generic rapid prototyping technology for the fabrication of micro-optical and micro-mechanical components, developed in-house since 1996.
The cyclotron facility, located at our Jette campus is a CGR-MeV model 560 capable of producing quasi-monoenergetic ion beams in the energy range between 3 and 45 MeV.
