Research and Development in Optics and Instrumentation
The LOOM research group was created in the early ‘70s by A. Baranne. Our activities are focused on the improvement of astronomical instrumentation through the development of new concepts and research in optics. Beside involvements in major astronomical instrumentation programs, R&D is carried out in various domains.
