We have been conducting research for 20+ years in photonics and optical fibers that can be used as sensors. We have two supporting laboratories, one in Kista (Stockholm) and one in Hudiksvall. Our researchers have deep expertise in the field and you can both read our publications and work with us on applied development projects.
How do you perform research in this area?
Within photonics and fiber optics, we have many scientific publications (see below), but also customers whom we support in their development work (applied research). Our customers are both Swedish and international, and the development projects often involve sensitive problems or new areas - we support, for example, the development of new types of sensors, processes, and material selection.

What kind of research is made?
An enormous amount of research is taking place in photonics, from various types of sensors, properties of light, to different quantum effects. Different international groups have their niches, where RISE builds upon its infrastructure/lab and studies areas and methods such as LIBS (Laser Induced Spectroscopy), DAS (Digital Acoustic Sensing), but also ventures into the quantum field, such as how we can extract information from quantum computers in the future, or how to measure humidity, temperature and pressure in challenging environments. Photonics is a broad field.
Customers often come to us with specific questions where we work on assignments of a sensitive nature, or we work with industry partners in publicly funded projects (EU, Vinnova, and others).
