The Electronics & Systems department at LAC Tech’ is currently composed of two research engineers.
The department designs original electronic equipment essential to the needs of the experiments performed in the laboratory. A large part of the activities concerns the development of electronic systems associated with projects for which no commercial solution exists. It can also be involved in an important way in scientific projects carried out by researchers. The developments carried out by the department concern both the realization of simple functions (specific amplifiers, modulators, synthesis and measurement of signals, distance sensor by measurement of time of flight, etc.) and large-scale projects close to the physics experiment (measurement of wavelength and laser servoing, electronics for optical control of the movement of a particle, etc).
The skills and know-how of the department are digital electronics (Xilinx FPGA programmable components and Microchip microcontrollers), general analog electronics, radio frequencies, low level measurement, signal synthesis, signal processing, medium voltage switching. Programming in advanced languages such as LabVIEW or C, digital synthesis language VHDL. The department regularly welcomes interns studying in BUT or engineering schools.

The service receives requests for work from research teams. It is in charge of the exploitation of experimental devices (optical systems and lasers) in connection with experimental projects, of the conception, the development of assemblies and adjustment protocols.

The design office receives work requests from research teams. It is in charge of the realization of studies, of the drawing, of the follow-up of the realization of mechanical assemblies of a scientific instrumentation project. This service also manages the two 3D printers of the laboratory.
