Photonics research

The Flagship for Photonics Research and Innovation (PREIN) develops light-based technologies for applications in life science, energy-saving, ICT, and environmental monitoring. Its different partners have complementary expertise and skills, ranging from the design and fabrication of nanomaterials and optical components to the development of advanced light sources with tailored properties, and up to system integration and instrumentation development. 

PREIN capabilities span a large number of modelling, design, fabrication, integration, characterization methods and infrastructures to reach the research objectives. The flagship activities are organized in different thematic areas spanning from fundamental research to applications and commercializing innovations. The research focus areas involve cross-cutting themes in photonics research that combine the expertise of all the PREIN partner organizations.
