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.
The projects VR2Market and MarinEye received two honourable mentions in the Innovation and Sustainability category of the “The Best of the Technological Portugal” prize, awarded by the Portuguese magazine “Exame Informática”.
