Optoelectronics Center Buys Nanopatterning Instrument

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The Optoelectronics Research Center has purchased the DPN 5000 System from Illinois-based NanoInk. The instrument will be used for fabricating nanostructured photonic metamaterials and sensors.

The Optoelectronics Research Center is based at the University of Southampton in the UK and comprises more than 30 groups working in fields ranging from optical materials discovery and fundamental photonics to light generation and advanced optical fiber technologies. The DPN 5000 is housed in the university's new Mountbatten Building cleanroom and laboratory complex.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
optical fiber
Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent strand or filament made of glass or plastic used for transmitting light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal quality. It serves as a medium for conveying information in the form of light pulses, typically in the realm of telecommunications, networking, and data transmission. The core of an optical fiber is the central region through which light travels. It is surrounded by a cladding layer that has a lower refractive index than...
optical materials
Materials that, by virtue of their optical characteristics (i.e. refractive index, dispersion, etc.), are used in optical elements. See crystal; glass; plastic lens.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
