Research

Ice is a scantily explored reaction medium that catalyzes a large number of processes and reactions; some of these, such as bromine explosion and the related ozone layer depletion, have a major impact on the natural environment. Ice in nature hosts many compounds; however, neither their location on ice nor the chemical identity have been sufficiently explained thus far, despite being of essential importance for the compounds' (photo)reactivity. In this project we will examine the compounds' behaviour via optical spectroscopies and environmental electron microscopy.

Strategy of the further development of SYNPO, a.s. is to gain a competitive advantage in the market in the area of sophisticated development of casting systems by cooperation with the academic partner and to expand own production of prefilled casting systems for electrotechnical industry. Four new prefilled casting systems will be developed (3 for indoor, 1 for outdoor use) with hardeners complying with authorization REACH, one prospectively based on ecological resin EnviPOXY.

The aim of the project is the study and development of advanced laser-TIG and laser wobbling welding methods and their application to welding of modern types of high strength steels and other materials used in the automotive industry. The research will also include the development of methods for monitoring the laser welding process for monitoring the quality of welds produced. The aim of the submitted project is to improve the quality of the welds produced by the active influence of heat input on the above mentioned materials.

The Centre unifies all the key academic and industrial players in Czechia dealing with R&D and technology transfer in electron microscopy and lithography, optical microscopy and spectroscopy, laser and fiber technologies, optical and quantum metrology, ultraprecise optical manufacturing and sophisticated optical systems.

The project is scoped to the research of new types of optical frequency references intended for frequency locking of lasers by spectroscopic methods. These references allows realization of transferable ultra stable optical frequency laser standards, which will serve as a tool for precise characterization of e infrastructure network between CESNET partners (including Institute of Scientific lnstruments, The Czech Academy of Sciences in Brno, CESNET Zikova in Prague, Palacky University in Olomouc, Institute of Photonics and Electronics, The Czech Academy of Sciences in Prague and others).
