Researchers here actively investigating Sol-Gel made
materials and colloidal systems for optical and
optoelectronic applications. They have been the
first to demonstrate that Silica tubes of
meters size which are used on the IVPO fiber manufacturing
process could be produced by Sol-Gel with
excellent quality and low impurities to be used as
the clad for optical fibers. Other
areas of investigations includes colloidal
crystals and hybrids.
