For the needs of the HELICOSS project, we set up a laboratory for the characterization of photothermal properties of materials. The first experiments in our new Ajdovščina facilities took place in July. And while the summer outside was scorching, our lab experiments never got that hot—we never had to call the firefighters for cooling support!
Another great perk: the lab is just a few steps away from our offices, which means no more fitness sessions on the stairs.
The laboratory is equipped with:
-
a high-definition IR camera,
-
a fiber-optic thermocouple,
-
several broadband and narrowband light sources,
-
and optical components for uniform sample illumination.

First experiments. We had in our heads: I amBlue (Da Ba Dee) song.
