The Nordic branch of Hamamatsu Photonics has joined the Baltic Photonics Cluster as the 24th member. Although based in Kista, Sweden, the company Hamamatsu Photonics Norden AB is active in the Baltic States (in addition to Nordic countries, Russia and CIS) and is the first non-Baltic member to join the cluster. BPC welcomes its newest member Hamamatsu Photonics!!!

BPC member Eventech has invites interested parties to join their workshop.

Eventech is organising Workshop in order to find possible joint project opportunities together with world class experts on 4-5 of July.
This workshop will cover such topics as: LiDARS, Gyroscopes, CubeSats, Fibers links for Optical Time Transfer, Satellite Constellation Time Transfer and synchronization, as well as instrumentation for: Gravity, Interferometry, Quantum communication.
It is organized prior to the last Latvian ESA PECS call in order to provide information about industry, technological tendencies and possibility to have join project with Eventech.
The following experts will be responsible for each topic:
1) LIDARS– Prof. David Rees 
2) Gyroscope – Prof.  Caterina Ciminelli
3) Fibers links for Optical Time Transfer – Mr. E. Murphy
4) Satellite Constellations, Time Transfer and synchronization – Mr. D. Mignolo (ESA)
5) Instrumentation for: Gravity, Interferometry, Quantum comm. – Mr. B. Leone (ESA)
Additionally, we have Ex-ESA head of Optics department who will lead the event.

We highly suggest to all Universities, Research Institutions, SME’s which are working in these or cross-correlating fields to participate, also there will be a chance to make presentation in order to show your achievements and capabilities.

Express your interest till 07.06.2019 by contacting Pavels Razmajevs.

Baltic Photonics Cluster has been joined by another Latvian high technology photonics company Ceram Optec SIA. The company resides in Livani and their main area of activity is manufacture of various fibre optics. Among other things, their competence allows for creating specific unconventional (rectangular, hexagonal, etc) core shapes and also UV-solarization resistant fibres.

The newsletter contains conclusions of NOP2018 event and some news from BPC members.

2nd quarterly newsletter of 2018 for BPC focuses on some interesting developments with Photonics Finland and brings to our attention new products and news from BPC members.

All relevant photonics stakeholders got a chance to update their company information in the Baltic Photonics Catalogue. Slight modifications are still possible (let us know if something is off), but here is the latest version of the catalogue:
