Photonics and light technologies are key components in many current technological systems.
In particular, they play a fundamental role in the aerospace sector. The institute contributes to this field through both fundamental research and technological transfer. Some areas of study include:
- Study of laser systems and applications, from theoretical aspects of nonlinear optics and plasmonics to industrial applications in sectors such as aerospace or railways.
- Metrology and sensing, including optical metrology and industrial inspection, development of phase evaluation algorithms for fringe pattern analysis in optical metrology, and smart LED lighting.
- Aspects of quantum science and technologies, including theoretical simulation of quantum optical systems, quantum optical sensors, quantum algorithm simulations, and the implementation of these technologies in unmanned aircraft.
