Welcome to the Optics and Radiometry Laboratory (ORLAB). We are a self-sustaining test, calibration and research facility associated with the University of New South Wales. We have over thirty years expertise in the areas of light, colour and optical testing. With this experience, our facility provides services to industry, maintains a research program and plays an active role in supporting standards development at the national and international levels.

We provide services to industry (nationally and internationally), supports research programmes, and we are involved in standards development at national and international levels. ORLAB aims to provide services throughout the areas of light, colour and optics.
