Wrocław University of Science and Technology conducts the study of new light sources of the mid-infrared range. This is a very advanced technology, which is being tested by very few scientific centers in the world.

The project allowed to develop infrared light sources operating in the wave range from 2000 to 6000 nanometers. These are ranges invisible to the human eye. Their main advantages are low price of light sources, simple construction, high reliability and low temperature work.

Medium infrared is widely used in medicine. It can increase the availability of diagnostic methods for patients – including the recognition and classification of cancer cells. It is also a simple and effective method of gas detection, e.g. in mines.

The research is directed by Dr Eng. Sławomir Sujecki, Prof. Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, who has been for many years also working at the University of Nottingham. The project is implemented as part of the Polonez grant from the National Science Center, co-financed by the European Commission.
