Center Overview

Center Objectives

The Center for DENKEN Future Photonic Technology Research is a research center established in September 2024 with the aim of realizing the social implementation of advanced photonic technologies that will contribute to the development of a futuristic society by utilizing the comprehensive manufacturing capabilities of DENKEN Co., Ltd. and photonic sensing research seeds of Kochi University of Technology.
In particular, this center will (a) work to realize the social implementation of a variety of high-added-value equipment that utilizes advanced imaging and sensing technologies created by applying photonic science academic knowledge; and (b) develop human resources who can survive the Darwinian Sea [achieve superior competitiveness].

Research Direction and Future Prospects

Development of devices that apply photonic control and photonic measurement technology

We are developing new imaging and sensing technologies that utilize the interactions between light and matter. Possible applications of the developed technology include cameras, microscopes, and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).
By adding unprecedented functionality and efficiency to the above devices, we will contribute to the resolution of various global issues through the fields including material analysis, product evaluation and environmental measurement.
