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
Alexander Kuna spoke about the second - the intangible, nevertheless one of the fundamental physical variables. Time itself is hard to describe, but it can be measured perfectly.
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.
No one doubts that the invention of lasers has not only changed the world of technology but also the lives of the general public. The first laser beamed in California in 1960 and then in spring of 1963 in the Czech Republic. November 30, 2013 will mark the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first laser university course which focused on teaching laser physics.
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
Our Institute of Photonics and Electronics is traditionally holds Open doors day on 7th and 8th November within the framework of the Science and Technology Week project. Visitors will be able to see the latest scientific methods and their use in practice. Both the main building in Prague 8 and the detached laboratory in Lysolaje will be open.
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).
