QNA Technology joined microEPC cluster

QNA Technology, a rapidly expanding Wroclaw-based manufacturer of quantum dots - and a member of PPTF - has joined the microEPC cluster also. Combined membership in the PPTF and microEPC cluster does not entail additional costs, but allows for more efficient coordination of cooperation within the Polish photonics and microelectronics ecosystem

Single photons source from WrUST

Researchers at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology have developed technology to produce photonic microdevices that produce single photons in the C-band, used in quantum communication. Through the use of quantum dots and innovative microscopes, they have achieved exceptional efficiency and indistinguishability of photons, which could enable their use in quantum technologies.

Shivering nanotubes

In a study published in the journal Carbon, researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology examined the effect of vibrations on carbon nanotubes. Using Raman spectroscopy, they discovered how vibrations of carbon atoms, called breathing modes, affect the optical and mechanical properties of nanotubes. The study has implications for the development of new materials in sensors and telecommunications, paving the way for applications in optomechanical technologies and photonic insulators.

Practical training: quantitative phase imaging for biomedical applications

PhotonHub Europe is a European support network for entrepreneurs incorporating photonic technologies into their products or processes. 38 leading technology centers offer knowledge, training - and most importantly, the opportunity to test, prototype and develop technologies. These technology services, thanks to EU funding, are available to companies on attractive terms. PhotonHub also supports startups.


This May and June the Warsaw University of Technology, PhotonHub's technology partner, is providing hands-on training in the use of high-resolution Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) methods for everyone interested. The main applications are biomedical research at the cellular level - but QPI is also used to measure semiconductor and photonic microstructures. Participants will learn in practice both the construction of the equipment (holographic microscope, Fourier ptychographic microscope, holographic tomograph), as well as the methods of conducting measurements and data processing.


The one- and three-day training courses will be held in Warsaw on 17 May and 19 June 2024, respectively.
