ABOUT US

The consortium that is created in the frame ofthis project has longstanding scientific relationships
between its participants. The research collaboration between organizations has begun in 2001.
There are already several internationals and local joint projects that were implemented by
consortium members.

This project is built on our previous international projects:

International Experience

Project #3222

Spatial anisotropy complete
3D-analysis in geometry optimizations
of electro-, piezo- and acousto-optical
interactions (new computer aided
design of highly efficient optical
modulators and deflectors

The main point of the project is a design procedure of the interaction efficiency optimization between the light and applied electric field, mechanical stress or acoustic wave in anisotropic materials of all the symmetry classes. It will be guaranteed an efficiency improvement of the elaborated optical modulators and deflectors, which work on electro-, piezo- or acoustooptical modulation of light.

The noticeable experience of such cooperation was gained in 2005 while implementing the joint European Union and Science and Technology Center in Ukraine (EU&STCU)

This project was mainly conducted in LPU, but supervisors of UA, PCz and Carat were partners and active members.

Three years later the results of such fruitful cooperation in the previous project allows partners to continue their research in the frame of EU&STCU project #4584 “Development of most efficient acousto-optic cell creation methodology for super-high-frequency control of powerful laser radiation”.

Additionally, in this project WUT and SPC were active members, too. This was the first and very successful attempt to organize scientific cooperation between Lviv, Warsaw, Anger and Czestochowa universities with further implementation in the technological product using Carat’s capacities (highly efficient acousto-optic cell to control the powerful laser radiation was created, see)

Project #4584

Development of the methodology for
creating the most efficient
acousto-optical cells of the microwave
band for controlling high-power laser
radiation

 

Project #M138-2009

“Investigation of new crystalline
materials for optoelectronics:
characterization, geometry
optimization and efficiency increasing
of their practical applications”

After that in 2009 the first Ukrainian-Polish project #M138-2009 was launched.

In this project through the series of experimental techniques and theoretical approaches the selected crystalline materials for acousto- and optoelectronics have been investigated. A number of characteristics was compared, anisotropy featured for induced effects were stated and indicated how to achieve optimal performance for the working elements of piezo- and acousto-optical devices under these conditions.

With the development of scientific cooperation and the proof of viability of the proposed concepts in 2010 the grant agreement №272715 and №910715 between PCz (and LPU for return phase) and Research Executive Agency FP7 of European Union project “New production technology development for most efficient and more stable application of electro-optic and nonlinear optical crystalline materials” was signed.

Project #272715 (2011-2013)

Project #910715 (2014-2015) – return phase

Spatial anisotropy complete
3D-analysis in geometry optimizations
of electro-, piezo- and acousto-optical
interactions (new computer aided
design of highly efficient optical
modulators and deflectors

The main goal of this project is to development of new production technology for most efficient and more stable application of crystalline materials as active elements of electro-optic or nonlinear optical cells, especially for control and/or conversion of superpowerful laser radiation.

In the framework of such technology it is proposed to create new electro-optic interferometric setup and modernize existing nonlinear optical setup as well as to develope the necessary fundamental methodology being suitable for precise determination and calculation of complete sets of electro-optic tensor coefficients or nonlinear optical second order susceptibilities in crystalline materials of different symmetry.
