AEL – Laboratori d'Enginyeria Avançada

D'acord amb la necessitat dels investigadors de construir noves estructures i components de recerca experimental, el Laboratori d'Enginyeria Avançada (AEL) s'esforça per apropar els investigadors a les últimes tecnologies en electrònica i enginyeria mecànica de precisió. L'AEL es dedica a donar suport a la innovació i el desenvolupament que es duen a terme als laboratoris de recerca de l'ICFO. La instal·lació ocupa uns 200 m2, que ofereix eines d'última generació per al disseny, muntatge i caracterització electrònica, així com per a l'enginyeria micromecànica. Inclou els Tallers de Mecànica i Electrònica.

Mechanical Workshop

Highly specialized technicians and engineers work closely with researchers to define mechanical solutions that adapt to the unique needs of each laboratory and experimental set-up.

The workshop aims to assist in the identification of commercial solutions and works to adapt acquired components to laboratory requirements. When no commercially available component conforms to the needs of the research, the workshop, in close collaboration with researchers, designs and manufactures custom-made mechanical solutions.

Applications range from cutting-edge devices for ultrafast optoelectronics and space communications, ultrasensitive devices for quantum optics, nano and bio photonics, to optimization of optical systems and design of new optomechanical elements, among others. Each solution is as novel as the research for which it was custom designed.

Laboratory Space Exploitation

Researchers receive support in the construction of novel set-ups. Examples include the manufacturing of vacuum chambers, installation of protective doors and curtains, design of organizational systems, and custom made support structures.

Adaptation of commercially available equipment

Equipment that meets the technical specifications for research may require adaptation or mechanical configuration to conform to laboratory set-ups.



Custom-made research components

In keeping with researchers’ technical requirements, the workshop designs and manufactures novel components of all kinds to specification.

Consultation Services

Workshop technicians advise researchers on optimization of space, procurement of materials and components, and outsourcing of services as needed.

Form 2 & 3 Printers by Formlab

High resolution, resin-based 3D printer for in-house production with desktop steroelithography. Facilitates creation of components made ro researcher specifications.

Electronic Workshop

The nature and complexity of the experiments carried out in ICFO’s laboratories call for high-performance electronic and optoelectronic technologies.

The Electronics workshop is a support facility that aims to assist in the identification of commercial solutions and to adapt acquired components to laboratory requirements. Often commercially available components do not meet unique needs, in which case, the experts in the Electronic workshop work closely with researchers to find solutions including the custom design and manufacture of the necessary electronic circuits.

Technical Office

Computers are available for the design and simulation of electronic circuits.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) manufacturing workshop

Space and tools for the rapid manufacturing of prototypes of PCBs adequate to the needs of specific set-ups, based on design specifications.

PCB assembly area

An assortment of professional equipment allows for the soldering and mounting of electronic devices.

Electronic Laboratory

Once the electronic circuits are assembled their operation can be verified by means of suitable electronic test equipment.
