This webinar is oriented to end-user companies, SMEs and startup companies that are thinking about developing a chemical sensor, but also to engineers and students that want to know more about the possibilities of Mid-IR technologies
LIDAR has already proven its accuracy and reliability, but there exist other aspects that still need to be developed, and even decided. The purpose of this webinar is to identify the technology bottlenecks as a discussion of TIER-1 suppliers and photonics technology developers
Stephen Taylor, CEO of Technology Scotland, describes how the association’s activities are addressing the demand for skilled personnel in the Scottish photonics sector
EPIC and COBO have signed a memorandum of understanding to encourage direct contact and cooperation between the two consortiums and their respective members
A French start-up detailing its hopes of being the first to commercialise quantum single-photon light sources represents the first time EPIC has focused on quantum technology at one of its events
Matthew Dale reports from the European Photonic Industry Consortium’s Executive Meeting on Industrial Lasers, where it was explained how CO2 lasers could be used to produce the next generation of computer processors
Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are impacting the biomedical field by providing fast, reliable and cost-effective diagnostic devices. These new tools allow for non-invasive detection by providing exciting and new functionalities, such as compact imaging devices that can be used to obtain chemical and morphological information at the same time. Another interesting application is the development of point-of-care instruments based on PICs that can continuously monitor our health, allowing clinical diagnoses to be carried out at any place and at any time.
Carlos Lee, director general of EPIC, give tips on how to secure funding, based on a chat with Frank Levinson, co-founder of Finisar
The European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) has partnered with the Russian Laser Association (LAS) to help encourage cooperation between the consortiums and its members
Dr Tom Pearsall, founder of the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC), argues that industry associations must be agile to stay relevant
Advances in optical metrology equipment are helping the semiconductor industry increase productivity and reduce downtime, finds Keely Portway
Andy Extance finds the pains and gains of laser light’s different behaviour in water for oceanographers using lidar
Carlos Lee, Epic’s director general, talks to Martina Mueller, CEO of 3D AG, a Swiss company specialising in micro and nanotechnology and holographic structures
David Giltner, founder of TurningScience, discusses whether these two seemingly different career paths can successfully overlap
Matthew Dale reports on the association’s yearly event, where the importance of diversity, photonics funding and investment were to the fore
Géraldine Andrieux, at Blumorpho, shares her top tips on getting investors’ attention as a startup
