Resources and equipment

This research group uses well-equipped facilities that are built around four laboratories: the Optical Communications Lab, the Sensors Lab, the Photonics Lab, and the Teralab. The computing and simulation facilities include more than 50 high-end computers that run software for electrical (microwave) and lightwave devices design as well as optical networks and systems simulation. In terms of instrumentation, a wide variety of electrical and lightwave measurements are available. Novel devices and subsystems can also be fully characterised using the wide range of electrical and lightwave components in the labs.

The non-consumable equipment available from own contributions and other organizations is:

Nadetech Dip-Coater (ND-DC)

The Nadetech Dip-Coater ND-DC has a vertical movement range of 150 mm which makes it ideal for the immersion of the substrates at a broad range of inmersion rates, it offers a great versatility defining the dipping sequences and it excels in dipping precision. The equipment is accompanied by intuitive and easy to use Windows-based software for programming the dipping sequences.
