Photonic Systems, Circuits and Sensors Group

The Zepler Cleanrooms Complex is a state-of-science multidisciplinary Centre which includes a variety of facilities and laboratories for materials and device research in electronics, photonics and nanotechnology, with both planar wafer and optical fibre capabilities supporting both Research and Enterprise.

The group works at the forefront of all aspects of silicon photonics. Our work ranges from fundamental study of devices and circuits to close collaboration with industry.

Led by Professor Peter Smith, our group specialises in the development and manufacture of novel optoelectronic devices for applications in quantum technology, integrated optical sensors and laser optics.
