The coordinator of the project PHOTONIX – PHOTOconversion for Novel Integrated X-systems <\/strong>is The Cyprus Institute<\/a> in Cyprus. Other partners include the Cypress company Lumoscribe Ltd<\/a>, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology<\/a> in Germany, and \u00daFE.<\/p>

The PHOTONIX project aims to develop a completely new class of solar-powered fiber lasers that will directly convert concentrated solar radiation into coherent laser radiation in the mid-infrared region. Unlike existing approaches, which rely on electrical power, the project introduces a new concept in which solar energy directly powers photonic systems.<\/p>

The research will focus on overcoming the main obstacles that have so far hindered the wider development of solar-powered lasers, such as efficiently coupling solar radiation into optical fibers, optimizing excitation dynamics, and ensuring the thermal stability of the system. Among other things, the goal is to develop:<\/p>
