As part of new series of articles on entrepreneurship, Carlos Lee, director general of the European Photonics Industry Consortium, speaks to pureLiFi founder Professor Harald Haas
PureLiFi has provided its LiFi technology for a new range of LiFi-integrated lighting products
A secondary school in Scotland is piloting li-fi internet within classrooms, becoming the first school in the world to test the technology
US consortium TALQ, which is developing a global interface standard and certification scheme for managing outdoor smart lighting networks, will shortly introduce TALQ Version 2.0, an application interface that will enable cities to choose and adopt smart lighting solutions from multiple vendors and control them all through a single central management system
Matthew Dale discovers that smart lighting has a lot more to offer than the energy savings associated with LEDs
LiFi looks set to deliver high-speed data communication via solid-state lighting. Matthew Dale investigates the current commercial state of the technology
Following on from his talk at Strategies in Light USA, Dr Paul Rudy from SoraaLaser explains the latest developments in GaN laser diodes and laser pumped phosphor architectures, and discusses the merits of lasers compared to other lighting technologies
Scientists from the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (IPMS) are to present a light-fidelity (LiFi) hotspot as a prototype for optical wireless communication for distances up to 10 metres, and at speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, at the 2017 Optical Fibre Communication (OFC) trade fair
A team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS in Dresden has developed a Li-Fi communication module that enables wireless networking between devices used in industrial production
Researchers from Facebook's Connectivity Lab have demonstrated a conceptually new approach for detecting optical communication signals travelling through the air

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
