Good morning!

We invite you to read the June edition of the Polish Newsletter on Optics and Photonics – PNOP. Recent weeks have abounded with many reasons to celebrate and recognise the beauty of optics and photonics. We highlight an important decision of the European Commission, information about SPIE scholarships and interesting outreach materials we have collected especially for you.

We invite you to read and share your feedback with us,

New quantum information carriers converter

Researchers from the University of Warsaw have developed a new technique that increases the speed of quantum information transfer by several tens of times. Using the concept of time lensing and the electro-optic effect, the researchers have achieved a 200-fold increase in the efficiency of converting quantum pulses of light. This innovative technique, based on the Fresnel lens concept, can accelerate quantum links by up to 50 times.

Imaging waveguide – tool for brain imaging

A team of Polish scientists has created a state-of-the-art system for accurately imaging the brains of living animals in motion. The innovative tool, called a flexible imaging waveguide, makes it possible to monitor neuronal activity, which could contribute to a better understanding of neurological processes such as the formation of memories or addictions.

PhotonHub Europe

PhotonHub Europe (PHE) is a Europe-wide support network for entrepreneurs who want to incorporate innovative photonic solutions into their products or processes. Supported by national PhotonHubs, the 36 top European technology centres offer information and training, business support, support in raising funding and a wide network of contacts - and above all the opportunity to experiment, test and develop technologies (including scaling up production). PhotonHub also comprehensively supports startups. However, the main part of its offer is high-end technology services, available at a very significant discount thanks to EU funding.


These services are available to all entities in the EU, with a special focus on SMEs. The PPTF is the Polish partner of PHE as the national photonics hub.

PhotonHub beneficiaries' testimonials

The value of the services provided by PhotonHub partners is best demonstrated by the feedback from companies that have already benefited from applying photonic technology to their specific needs. From wine barrel condition surveys to spray precision control, PET processing monitoring to integrated photonics design, testimonials from customers across Europe demonstrate the benefits of implementing photonic solutions in the economy.  Seven videos describing the companies' completed support projects are available on YouTube and the PhotonHub website.
