Light scattering

Light scattering development

Over the years we have developed and introduced a number of new techniques in single and multiple light scattering characterization. Some of this research and development was carried out in the frame of Swiss government funded research (CTI/Innosuisse) in collaboration with LS Instruments AG, a SME that originated from our labs (https://lsinstruments.ch/en/). Recent examples are the automatic l^*-calibration in DWS, 3D modulated dynamic light scattering, improved speckle imaging of ‘materials and blood flow in tissue’.
