Photonics & MICROELECTRONICS Northern Lights in Lapland Bonfire on the Midsummer Night ILKKA TITTONEN professor, Finnish Coordinator Helsinki University of Technology
Contents • Photonics business and future expectations • Map of Finland including major research areas • Some potential collaboration fields from the Finnish point of view
Photonics Photonics is the science of the harnessing of light. Photonics encompasses the generation of light, the detection of light, the management of light through guidance, manipulation, and amplification, and most importantly, the utilization of light as a tool for the benefit of mankind.

More information Jukka Hast (VTT) phone: +358 40 587 0069 e-mail: jukka.hast@vtt.fi Flexible Autonomous Cost Efficient energy Source and Storage FACESS is funded under the 7th EU-Framework programme (FP7-ICT-1-215271). The project duration is from 1. January 2008 to 31. December 2010 The general objectives of this project are following: manufacture efficient organic solar cells (OSC) and a thin film battery (TFB) on flexible substrate using commercially available materials and cost efficient roll-to-roll (R2R) mass production techniques, printing, as well as integrate a control transistor circuitry on a foil. The ultimate goal is to integrate these three structures to a single assembly resulting in a flexible, fully autonomous energy source. In this assembly organic solar cells harvest the solar energy and charge the thin film batteries, which provide the electricity for an external load. The Si-based transistor circuitry integrated on the foil controls the charge operation.
