At CAP we perform R&D in applied photonics, principally focusing on optical fibre technology.
We are oriented towards applied research and development in optical fibre sources, optical fibre communication, optical fibre sensors and microfabrication (thin films and integrated optics).
Our group is always looking for opportunities for technology transfer to industrial companies using its specific competencies in optoelectronics and systems integration.
Ten INESC TEC researchers are among the top-cited academics worldwide, part of the top 2% in their respective fields, according to a ranking developed by researchers from Stanford University (U.S.A.), and published in late 2020.
