Based in the University's School of Physics and Astronomy, the Photonics Innovation Centre offers a state-of-the-art facility for application orientated development of photonic and quasi-optical (mm-Wave) devices. The Photonics Innovation Centre (PIC) provides a positive contribution by: Promoting the further development of research 'breakthroughs' by enabling prototype devices to be designed, manufactured, characterised and fully tested; Promoting enhanced opportunity for the assessment and development of prototype devices in new applications; Facilitating a more rapid take-up of new devices by providing 'test-drive' opportunities; Nurturing and encouraging potential spin-out companies by offering pseudo-incubator unit facilities; Enabling the more widespread use of novel prototype devices within the Photonics Research Groups in St Andrews for the promotion of fundamental and applied research; Enhancing the training of post-graduate and post-doctoral Research Fellows through working in close collaboration with industry.
