Understanding light propagation as the basis of many optics applications in medicine and engineering

The department Quantitative Imaging and Sensors is engaged in model-based simulative and metrological imaging and sensor technology. The aim is the direct acquisition of information employing physics-based models of light propagation in the examined media or objects,

i.e. without having to resort to calibration measurements. For this purpose, a large number of different measurement procedures and theoretical methods have been developed.

Optical Phantoms for Research, Development and Quality Management

From calibration to the validation of optical measurement systems, optical phantoms provide reproducible conditions for the development and testing of optical systems. ILM develops and manufactures both homogeneous and complex structured phantoms with precisely defined optical properties.
