Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics

Overview

Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), founded in 1826, is one of the largest institutions of higher education in the Central Europe and the largest university of technology in Poland. In the last two years the University won the first place among the 20 of universities of technology. WUT employs over 2500 academic teachers / researches. More than 30.000 students, at different levels study at WUT at 17 departments. Beside academic teaching WUT is very active and successful in research performed within: the University internal and statutory research, individual research  projects financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (ap. 650 grants /year), contracted works commissioned by industrial companies, international co-operation on the basis of over 150 projects realized within 6th and 7th Framework Programmes and over 162 bilateral agreement.

The Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics (IMP), is a part of Faculty of Mechatronics at WUT. The main (internationally recognized) research… The Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics owns fully-equipped laboratories including interferometric and holographic laboratory, optical methods of testing in experimental mechanics laboratory, spectroscopic laboratory, optical sensors laboratory, 3D/4D  measurement laboratory and virtual reality laboratory, a clean room and an optical workshop.
. Photonics is the Key Enabling Technology that is researched at the Institute of Micromechanics and Photonics. The services we offer to the companies include but are not limited to:

development of numerical algorithms supporting automatic fringe pattern analysis, iterative phase retrieval and tomographic reconstruction,
development of novel measurement methods based on diffraction, propagation, interference and polarization of coherent and quasicoherent light,
development of measurement and monitoring methods based on incoherent light,
development of optical and photonics measurement systems incl. interferometric, digital holography, grating (moire) interferometry, optical diffraction tomography, and systems based on a single beam phase reconstruction methods,
development of measurement systems based on digital image correlation method, thermovision techniques, structured light and “time-of-flight” methods,
development of novel wide viewing angle 3D holographic displays with coherent and…. Yes. service.
