Research project
‘Adapter for a commercial grade camera or a smart phone to perform depth resolved imaging’
Funded by the European Research Council
Cristian worked on a patented adapter to transform a commercial grade digital camera or the camera in a smart phone into a depth resolved imaging instrument via optical coherence tomography. This activity took advantage of recent progress in commercial grade cameras in terms of their modes of operation as well as in terms of performance, such as sensitivity and speed of their photodetector arrays.
