Optoelectronics and measurement techniques laboratory is specialized in demanding electronic applications.

The Laboratory has a long history of measuring human physiological, vital functions. In addition to development of biomedical instrumentation, the research focus is on biophotonics and optical measurements. One of the focus areas is to study light-matter interactions of biological tissues as well as fabrication and characterization of tissue mimicking phantoms. A growing research topic is the use of nanoparticles in biophotonic applications. FiDiPro-professor Valery Tuchin’s expertise is in the use of optical clearing agents for tuning optical properties of biological tissue for enhancing capabilities of optical techniques and instruments.

An actively developing area is printable electronics. There is a production line in the Laboratory to research and produce printable electrical components like phototransistors, solar cells and sensors on the transparent, flexible substrates. In addition, new characterizing and testing methods are investigated for printed electronics materials and components. The Laboratory also enjoys hosting EMC-facilities of the University of Oulu.

The variety of applications has lead to co-operation not only with other laboratories within the university, but also on a global scale. Our partners are renowned international research teams whose experts visit our Laboratory on regular basis and host our researchers.
