Theoretical and Applied Optics

Facilities

The DOTA has both ground based and in-flight simulation tools and measuring equipment so that it can fully carry out its research and tests.

Experimental resources

  • Sicap - cryogenic infrared spectrometer, and Cirap aircraft-borne infrared camera,
  • Timbre-poste: helicopter-borne infrared radiometer,
  • BRDF, bidirectional diffusion measurement bench, for natural or artificial surfaces,
  • Atmospheric turbulence simulation chamber
  • Boa, adaptive optics bench for the visible imagery of satellites,
  • Cleo, laser chamber for optics experiments,
  • Aiquido, characterization laboratory for optronic components,
  • Brise, experimental cophasing sensor test bench,
  • Pirenne, radiometry in the outer environment

Simulation tools
