LCDOLCDO is our characterization laboratory for devices based on photonics and/or plasmons. It includes a fully equipped optics bench for optoelectronic device characterisation as well as UV sources for testing photovoltaic technology.
This is our newest lab, and activities really began in earnest with the beginning of the FP7 Positive project (Sept 2010) and FP7 NanoPV (March 2011). Since September 2010 we have designed and built several device characterisation setups from scratch including such as for optical tramission and polarimetry measurements from visible into the NIR. Preliminary modelling work was recently presented at PECs IX (Simulation of porous silicon photonic crystals for biosensing) and is currently being reviewed for publishing. Other works are close to publication.
