LumineSCent Technologies

LSC Technologies is a startup project led by five students from the Institut d'Optique Graduate School in collaboration with two researchers from the Charles-Fabry Laboratory.

Our Technology: Luminescent Concentrators.

We base our work on luminescent concentrator technology, which enables precise control of light. This technology, developed at the Charles-Fabry Laboratory, is protected by three patents.

In SkinCare : SkinLight

The SkinLight product incorporates luminescent concentrator technology to enhance light sources used in dermatology. Applications range from the treatment of skin cancer and acne to permanent hair removal. By improving traditional pulsed light machines, SkinLight enables these devices to be used more efficiently.

In Chemical Industry : React:On

Wikipedia's definition

Photochemistry is the branch of chemistry concerned with the chemical effects of light. Generally, this term is used to describe a chemical reaction caused by absorption of ultraviolet (wavelength from 100 to 400 nm), visible (400 - 750 nm), or infrared radiation (750 - 2500 nm).

In nature, photochemistry is of immense importance as it is the basis of photosynthesis, vision, and the formation of vitamin D with sunlight.[2] It is also responsible for the appearance of DNA mutations leading to skin cancers.

Photochemical reactions proceed differently than temperature-driven reactions. Photochemical paths access high-energy intermediates that cannot be generated thermally, thereby overcoming large activation barriers in a short period of time, and allowing reactions otherwise inaccessible by thermal processes. Photochemistry can also be destructive, as illustrated by the photodegradation of plastics.

About the product

React:On is a set of customisable photoreactors designed for labs and researchers. It answers a lack of standards in lighting for those kind of experiments. It also fill the gap of visible light illumination in photoreactos, traditionnaly using UV light.
