Photonics Facility of the Fresnel Institute
Aix-Marseille Université
PHOTONIQUE (hosted by the Fresnel Institute) offers a set of optical techniques to perform optical characterization measurements of components or materials, to fabricate some of these components, and to perform microscopy imaging or even measurements on biological samples, including living ones.

Requests must be sent by e-mail to the scientist in charge of the facility along with a detailed description of the needs. Depending on adequacy of the demand with our technological capabilities, an access of the platform will be or provided or not.
In more details, the services provided include:
-optical characterization of materials or optical components,
-thin film deposition,
-optical filter design,
-biological imaging (Coherent Raman, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, phase imaging, polarized fluorescence microscopy),
-laser interaction on materials or components (optical crystals, optical thin films) : damage, structuring.
