- Additional information
- This output reports the world’s first long-wavelength (2 micron) OCT developed for the largest depth of penetration in high-opacity materials with low water content. Instrument development was funded by AHRC/EPSRC cross-council grant (AH/H032665/1, £661k) partnering with the National Gallery, English Heritage, Gooch & Housego PLC and University of Southampton (developed the broadband laser source), and led to AHRC grant with the British Museum (AH/R001413/1, ~£70k) to study non-invasively the microstructure of their collection of intact ancient Egyptian faience objects. Industrial applications were funded or commissioned by BASF (Germany; nikolaus.nestle@basf.com) and Besnovo Inc. (Canada; SKhiabani@besnovo.com).
