University Degree:

PhD, Polish Academy of Sciences, The Szewalski Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery in Gdansk

Position at ICTER:

Senior Researcher

Research Areas:

visual psychophysics, eye-imaging, non-linear optics, laser spectroscopy

Description

Exploration of two-photon vision, i.e., a phenomenon of perception of pulsed near-infrared lasers due to two-photon absorption in visual pigments. Focuses on developing optical systems and methods for psychophysical testing of this newly discovered way of perception of light and on integrating these methods into ophthalmic imaging systems.

Recently, at ICTER, she has been implementing the Proof of Concept project of the Foundation for Polish Science, which aims to construct a prototype of two-photon AR glasses.

Granted projects

OPUS 27 / NCN

Project title: Characterization of sensitivity of cones and rods to two-photon stimulation Project leader: dr Katarzyna Komar Two-photon stimulation of photoreceptors will be studied using dedicated optical systems and measurement techniques based on visual psychophysics (flicker photometry), optoretinography, and electrophysiology. With the flicker photometry, the spectral two-photon sensitivity of individual photoreceptor types will be measured. We […]

Proof of Concept FENG / FNP

Project title: Retinal display based on two-photon vision for augmented reality Project number: FENG.02.07-IP.05-0233/23 One of the main problems with augmented reality (AR: Augmented Reality) technologies is that simultaneously achieving satisfactory clarity and quality: (1) the image of the outside world and (2) the additional information displayed against it, requires a compromise. Current solutions on […]
