For scientists

The two-day event was held in the conference room at Hotel DAP in Prague. The Technical Meeting of COST Action TD1001 (OFSeSa) was in the form of lectures on fiber sensors. A meeting of the Steering Committee of TD1001 took place at the end of the first day.

Jiří Homola, director of the Institute of Photonics and Electronics of the AS CR, v. v. i., has been appointed professor of physics - quantum optics and optoelectronics - on the proposal of the Scientific Council of the Charles University in Prague, with the effect from 1 March, 2014.

Ondřej Kučera, a postdoctoral researcher of our Bioelectrodynamics team, was awarded the Werner von Siemens Award for the best doctoral dissertation in 2013

The TA ČR 2013 for the category of Original solution was awarded to the project entitled "Optical Packet Switch" on the creation of which our institute participated.

Listen to the recording about research and the use of fiber lasers - with Pavel Peterka, Ph.D., a scientist at the Institute of Photonics and Electronics

The presentation focused on two nanofabrication methods that we have developed, namely, template stripping for making ultra-smooth patterned metals and atomic layer lithography for making atomic-scale nanogaps toward applications in nanoplasmonic sensing and spectroscopy.

On the occasion of the conference Laser Physics 2013 and the visit of our institute, Prof. Yevgeny Dianov delivered public lecture on the activities of the Fiber Optic Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).

Prof. Sajeev John will have a presentation on Photonic Band Gap Materials: Light Trapping Crystals. The presentation will be held in English, on Monday 9.7. 2012 at 11 o'clock. in the big hall of our institute.

Our Laboratory of Optical Fibers is organizing a seminar for secondary school teachers which will focus on optical fibers and optical devices on Tuesday 6th November from 13:30.
