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 Spray Coater (ND-SP)

The Nadetech Spray Coater ND-SP is a system focused on the fabrication and deposition of multilayered thin films which allows the maximum degree of freedom because it can combine both wet and spraying techniques. The equipment is based on a 3-axis robot, governed by an intuitive software which allows multistep spray deposition as well as dip coating or layer-by-layer. As an option, it is also possible to add a second 3-axis module in order to allow simultaneous spray on both sides of a substrate or even an independent dipping sequence deposition in each of the 2 modules. The ND-SP is intended for works that require the maximum flexibility involving spray and wet deposition techniques.
