About

The Photonics Research Centre undertakes research in a number of areas of photonics, with a particular emphasis on fibre optics.
Optical fibre sensing is a technology that allows to measure a wide range of parameters, including temperature, pressure, vibrations, concentrations of chemical and biological quantities using optical fibers.

Our research programme is focussed on novel sensing principles and fibre structures with the aim of providing innovative sustainable solutions for real life problems in the fields of smart materials, devices and smart buildings, in medical diagnostics, food safety control, environmental monitoring and many others.
