SRI activities will also cover more fundamental aspects of researched areas. It is very important for every scientific unit to find a balance between a work focused on technology development and activities allowing a better understanding of some fundamental processes occurring in a given system.

 

We Support Your Ideas

 

We offer a modern technical infrastructure necessary for advanced optoelectronics research.

 

Saule Research Institute has access to one of the most advanced and constantly growing optoelectronic laboratory complexes in Europe. We provide the necessary high-tech equipment that allows excellent research and development to take place dealing with cutting-edge technology. Our facilities include systems for:

Chemical synthesis

• organic and inorganic synthesis (fumehoods, ovens, autoclave, centrifuges, extractors, schlenk lines)

Deposition

• vacuum-based processes (thermal evaporation, sputtering, ALD, E-beam)
• solution-based processes, inert or atmospheric conditions (spin-coating, ink-jet, doctor-blade, rod coating, spray coating)

Characterisation

• spectroscopy (UV-Vis, DLS, FTIR, Raman, Ellipsometry, TCSPC, PLQE)
• electrical characterisation (solar simulators, IPCE, conductivity)
• optical characterisation (SEM, AFM, optical miscroscopes, profilometer)
• crystallographic characterisation (XRD)
• rheological characterisation (tensiometer, viscometer)

Manufacturing

• module design and fabrication
• scalable deposition
• thin-film encapsulation (laminators, barrier level characterisation)
• reliability testing (climate chambers, aging system, PV outdoor testing)

 

Scientific Council

 

From 2018 Foundation is supported by high experienced, internationally recognized experts, specializing in optoelectronics, phisics, chemistry and business fields.
