The Photonics Laboratory, with about 30 members, is conducting research in the areas of

• Optoelectronic devices and materials 
• Fiber optical communication
• Microwave photonics

We participate in several major research programmes funded by Swedish funding agencies and the European Commission. With a majority of our research projects being applied, we also have a long tradition of working closely with industrial partners.

To our disposal we have well-equipped laboratories for measurements on fiber optical transmission links and systems, for characterizing optoelectronic and optical components, and for analysing the optical properties of various materials. For fabrication of optoelectronics and optical components we use the clean room facility at MC2, a state-of-the-art facility for micro and nanofabrication in semiconductors and other materials.

We also teach several Master level courses, which together provide a thorough survey of the photonics area, including important industrial applications. These courses can be taken separately or as a part of the Master Program in Wireless, Photonics and Space Engineering, which we coordinate together with the Microwave Electronics Laboratory and the Department of Signals and Systems.
