Field of Activities
INO maintains and develops a high level of knowledge and
expertise in 34 photonic sub-technologies grouped into 10 main
technologies and organized in three broad sectors: Microoptics
and Microsystems Photonics, Fibers and Lasers and Applied
Optical Systems. Its achievements have found applications in the
following areas: aerospace, biomedicine, the environment,
forestry, industrial processes, transportation,
telecommunications, security, and defense. They are put to use
in quality control, industrial process monitoring, remote
sensing, surveillance, medical diagnosis, telecommunications,
object and pattern recognition, night vision, inspection, and
analysis. INO stands at the forefront of technology, ready to
fulfil industrys needs. To help sustain its scientific research
and activities, INO provides computer support, a team of optical
and optomechanical engineers and designers, and engineering and
electronics workshops. The scientific team has access to the
latest in equipment. INO labs include preform fabrication
facilities, two fiber drawing towers, and state-of-the-art clean
rooms. These facilities are grouped together in a single
building 17,300 m2 in size. INO keeps itself on the
technological cutting edge to meet industry needs.
Products and Services
INO has turned its advanced knowledge of physics to good use in
the field of light technology. With its cutting-edge equipment
and facilities, INO can provide complete integrated services
ranging from the design of laser and vision systems to
feasibility studies, new concept demonstration, and development
of experimental models. INO also offers design, pre-production,
and small-scale production of advanced optics systems as well as
the design, characterization, and evaluation of components and
equipment. INOs know-how and expertise are what set it apart
from other research organizations.
INO conducts research, designs and manufactures products and
prototypes to customer specifications, and offers small-scale
industrial production services. It also designs and manufactures
optical devices and components such as graded reflectivity
mirrors, diffractive optical elements, and bolometric detectors
for use in more complex systems. INO is also the biggest
specialty optical fiber manufacturer in Canada and ranks among
the leading suppliers in the world.
INO offers state-of-the-art solutions in optical design and
testing, diffractive optics, optoelectronic micromanufacturing,
metrology, thin films, guided-wave optics, new laser sources,
laser applications, optical and digital information processing,
artificial vision. INO also designs and manufactures specialty
optical fibers for R & D, custom designed optical components,
laser systems, telecommunication systems and devices, fiber-
optic sensors, vision systems for quality and process control.

Ocr System
INO has developed an OCR system composed of three modules: the
preprocessing module, whose main function is to clean images and
isolate areas of interest; the OCR module, which classifies the
symbols it receives; and the ICR (Intelligent Character
Recognition) module, which is customized for each specific
application and contains a set or rules that define the syntax
of the codes to be identified.
