The Institute was established in 1955 as the Institute for Theoretical Radiotechnology of the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences. It acquired its present name in 1956.
Research and development activities of the Institute are focused on three main areas; namely photonics, optoelectronics, and signals and systems.
Photonic research deals with the preparation and characterization of photonic materials and structures for optical communications and sensors. Active and passive fiber and planar waveguide components for optical communications are investigated. The research involving sensors deals with evanescent-wave fiber optic chemical sensors and with surface plasmon resonance sensors for the detection of biological substances and analysis of biomolecules and their interactions. Chemical vapor deposition and sol-gel methods are investigated for the preparation of special optical fibers.
Research in optoelectronics is focused on experimental characterization, theoretical modelling and preparation of advanced materials for optoelectronics; namely semiconductors, special glasses, and crystals.
In the area of systems for signal generation, transmission and processing, main research topics include metrology of time and frequency, radio-communications, optical communications, speech analysis and synthesis.
