List of Exhibitors, 2016 Annual Gathering

Chromacity is an innovative Company developing, manufacturing and selling advanced laser products for the biophotonics imaging market and spectroscopy market. Our laser systems help generate high resolution images of cellular structures, enabling life scientists to reduce the time and cost of cellular imaging without compromising on image quality. Chromacity currently has two products on offer: a high power, ultra-short pulsed, near-IR fixed wavelength source, and a tunable ultrashort-pulsed OPO system that can tune up to 4.2µm. Please visit our stand for more information.

Ultrafast lasers

The exhibit will show examples of impact from ECFP research with industry through posters and demonstrations. An outreach activity will be run on the table when the children arrive.

The ETP is an alliance of 12 Scottish universities with world class capabilities across a range of low carbon energy technologies. Contact us to find out how our pool of 250 academics & 700 researchers (the largest energy network in Europe) can help address your technical challenges.

We will be showcasing the capabilities and services that Fraunhofer UK provides to industry and academia.

Low power, high speed Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) carbon dioxide gas sensors.

Nanostructure holograms with high efficiency and broadband will be demonstrated. By controlling the polarisation state of the light, the reconstructed image can be changed.

Demonstration of mm-wave radar instruments developed for remote sensing and security applications.

An introduction to QuantIC and our research

Razorbill Instruments, a new Scottish start-up from a SUPA university, is a manufacturer of high quality cryogenic research tools. We will be exhibiting our new product, a highly compact strain cell for applying controlled strains to 1.5 mm and smaller samples at cryogenic temperature. This product will be relevant to physicists investigating the effect of crystal structure and lattice distortions on the electronic properties of solids - for example superconductors, graphene and other novel materials.

The Laser Harp is a unique light based musical instrument for physics outreach, which brings together artistic and scientific themes in a seamless way. It uses a circular ring containing 8-16 red laser pointers with photodiode detectors to monitor "of laser ". Unlike traditional laser harps, it employs the novel concept of crossed laser beams, permitting great versatility for configuring output sounds, via an on-board Raspberry Pi microcontroller to synthesise sound.

Exhibition of University of Glasgow instrumention and research that was key to the successful operation of the recent ESA LISA Pathfinder space mission and the detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO detector in the USA.
