Photonics for Everyone

The full videos for all these events will be available on www.cappa.ie/cork-science-festival-2021 and on the CAPPA YouTube Channel from the 6th – 14th of November as Part of Cork Science Festival.

CAPPA has created a variety of online talks titled “Photonics for Everyone” showcasing:

• An overview of the activities at the CAPPA research centre
• A series of experiments aimed at children which can be done using everyday household items;
• Showcasing a tour of the state-of-the-art CAPPA labs in the CREATE Building on MTU’s Bishopstown Campus, showing the advanced spectroscopy and imaging systems and nanophotonic devices used to assist local and multinational companies with their analysis, process control and R&D programmes;
• Showcasing the CAPPA labs in the Tyndall National Institute and showcase how researchers are developing novel laser devices to enable advanced OCT medical imaging techniques which can look beneath the surface of the skin
• A series of videos created by current PhD students highlighting the area of photonics
