Objectives

The recent growth of optical methods in various fields is due to the inherent advantages of these methods (high spatial and temporal resolutions, punctual or global measure, contactless method ...) and recent advances in photonics. The applications cover a wide range of industrial and research fields: automotive, aerospace, health, environment ... This course aims to provide the knowledge required to the understanding of the most used optical technologies.

Keywords

Telemetry, Interferometry, Infrared technology, Optical materials processing
