ABOUT
The Center for Optics and Photonics of the National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand (NARIT) aims at designing, developing, and commissioning cutting-edge optical instruments dedicated to astronomical, space, life science and industrial applications. Our team consists of opto-mechanical engineers, PhD students and post-docs working together to design, develop, and evaluate the performance of our instruments. Our work encompasses a wide range of activities: definition of the design concept, specification, optical and mechanical design, assembly, integration, alignment and performance integration.
