The ETSi hosts the XIII Optoelectronic Meeting, OPTOEL 2023

The Higher Technical School of Engineering of the University of Seville, ETSi, hosts from today, June 14 to 16, the XIII Meeting of the Optoelectronics Committee, OPTOEL 2023, a biennial event designed as a meeting point for researchers and professionals linked to Photonics and Optoelectrónica de España, with the motto “Connecting Academia and Industry”.

For three days, at OPTOEL 2023, the latest scientific advances and developments produced in the area of ​​photonics and optoelectronics will be analyzed, updated and discussed.

In this sense, the European Photonics and Optoelectronics sector, as a facilitating technology, faces great challenges among which the progressive demand for connectivity and information in the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector should be highlighted. which continues with its exponential growth, with photonic technologies being responsible for providing the successive increase in channel capacity. Likewise, the increase in productivity and efficiency of Industrial Manufacturing Processes where photonics is already a strategic capacity available that offers the possibility of carrying out production processes in an automatic, more flexible way and with higher quality results.

On the other hand, the aging of the population and the increase in age-related diseases in the Life and Health Sciences sector, where photonic technology will help carry out preventive diagnoses at a molecular level as well as development of non-invasive surgical methods.

Another area in which photonic technology plays an absolute role is in the Lighting and Displays sector, and specifically the development of LEDs (inorganic light-emitting diodes) and OLEDs (organic light-emitting diodes) to be able to achieve improvements in image quality, energy efficiency, thickness, size, weight, and all with a lower production cost.

Finally, new photonics techniques are protagonists in the development of the Optical Components and Sensors sector for the improvement of safety and well-being in various fields of daily life such as food, environment, water, recycling, waste treatment. waste, and traffic.

OPTOEL2023 aims to offer a scenario made up of researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and large companies that allows Academia and Industry to connect to promote solutions to these global problems.
