Today, Photonic Integration and Advanced Data Storage Centre for Doctoral Training students enjoyed a site visit to Vector Photonics, based in Glasgow. Vector Photonics produces PCSEL (Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers) based semiconductor lasers – the most significant innovation in laser design and manufacture for 30 years. The company is also a spin-out from the University of Glasgow. Our students enjoyed a variety of learning opportunities today, including practical exposure and industry knowledge from our brilliant hosts Euan Livingston, Sharon Doonin and Dr Richard J E Taylor. Euan provided an insightful presentation about Vector Photonics, the technology and the employment opportunities within this rapidly growing sector. The rapid growth of the photonics sector in Scotland has created a cluster of innovative companies and internationally recognised academic centres that are developing and manufacturing cutting edge technologies and products that are exported all over the world! Thanks so much to Vector Photonics for such a fab visit 😊
Thank you all for coming along and thanks to the whole Vector Photonics team for helping us pull today together in particular Anna O'Dowd for giving a career insight and Peter Linton and Darren Blair for leading the tour.
Delighted to host and hear from the Photonic Integration and Advanced Data Storage Centre for Doctoral Training cohort at Vector Photonics today!
