Established in August 2002 by Professor Trevor J. Hall, the Photonic Techology Laboratory’s (PTLab) research has concentrated on a unique combination of photonics and embedded systems. Even though “photonic” is to optical what “electronic” is to electrical; a photonic system necessarily implies the combination of optics and electronics (optoelectronics). Moreover, whilst 90% of the cost of a photonic system is the optics, it still consists of 90% electronics.
Research conducted at the PTLab is (equally) diverse while focused. We graciously acknowledge and are supported by various national and international institutions, funding agencies and private industries.
