ONGOING PROJECTS
We are glad to participate in research/industrial projects. We firmly believe that collaboration is the key to success, and taking part in different projects and/or consortiums allows us to exchange ideas, leverage diverse expertise, and foster innovation. This approach not only enhances the quality and impact of our work but also helps in building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships that drive progress in our respective fields.
IMPACT Photonics
Integrated photonic and terahertz systems have the potential to revolutionize healthcare, with biomarker detection and monitoring devices that offer very high sensitivities in compact, low-cost devices, which can be deployed in the immediate environment of patients. The IMPACT-Photonics project will develop this potential through the research of new integrated photonic sensors, capable of zone-based sensing and terahertz reflectometers that, in conjunction with advances in microfluidic techniques, chemical functionalization of surfaces, and advanced reading instrumentation, will enable the simultaneous monitoring of biomarkers related to cancer drug treatments.

ENLACE
Currently, there are dozens of ongoing or active constellation projects, with thousands of satellites that incorporate laser communication in their missions. However, the technology used, based on continuous wave (CW) lasers, is only effective in satellite-to-satellite communications in space, as atmospheric attenuation, caused by multiple factors, hinders or blocks signal transmission in earth-space and earth-to-earth links, at the levels required to enable transmission speeds of tens or even hundreds of Gbps. ENLACE proposes a system based on ultrashort pulse lasers, recently demonstrated in earth-to-earth connections at transmission speeds of > 1 Gbps, to be extended to > 25 Gbps, in earth-to-earth and earth-space links, being immune to atmospheric effects. It incorporates modules and hybrid architectures of integrated photonics and pulsed fiber lasers of power, offering an unprecedented solution in the market.
