Access photonics laboratories that enable testing, characterisation and evaluation of light-based products to support development and verification.

The facility supports development teams working with sensors, light sources, lighting products and retroreflective materials where optical performance must be characterised and verified. The need arises when products depend on controlled light behaviour, such as spectral properties, intensity distribution or surface interaction and where internal setups are insufficient.

Verification and development support

The laboratories provide testing and studies that support product development by identifying performance and potential issues. The facility enables the build and testing of optical products under controlled conditions, supporting risk assessment and further development as part of our photonics services.

Target group and benefits

Support development and engineering teams by providing photonics testing and measurements.

Development and engineering teams

The laboratories support organisations developing photonics-based products that require the measurement and evaluation of light characteristics. This includes teams working with optical sensors, lighting systems and specialised light sources that require documented behaviour under defined conditions. Measurements such as radiometric, photometric and colourimetric data provide a basis for evaluating design performance and identifying deviations during development.

Use of results in practice

Test results are used to document compliance with applicable requirements, support evaluation of product behaviour and guide further development steps.

Facility setup

Configure photonics laboratories with specialised equipment and reference sources to match different measurement and testing requirements.

Advanced photonics measurement equipment

Use equipment including goniophotometer (Type A), goniospectroradiometer (Type C), VIS telespectroradiometer, UV/VIS/NIR spectroradiometer, fluorescence spectrometer, luminance meter and colour and luminance camera to perform detailed characterisation and testing of photonics products.

Integrated measurement systems

Apply integrating spheres for UV and VIS measurements and use lux, UV-A and UV-C meters to capture different aspects of light behaviour, supporting consistent and reproducible measurement conditions.

Calibration reference lamps

Use calibrated reference lamps including halogen-tungsten spectral reference lamps (350–1050 nm), Xe spectral reference lamps (200–800 nm), deuterium reference lamps (200–400 nm) and halogen-tungsten 2PI spectral flux reference lamps (350–1050 nm) to ensure traceable measurement conditions and reliable results.
