The Telecommunications Laboratory (LabTel) of Ufes participates, this Monday, 16, in the national program of the International Day of Light.On the date, it will be possible to get to know the laboratories and research projects of the University in the areas of photonics, robotic rehabilitation, fiber optic sensors and networks.Applications can be made through a form and interested parties choose which laboratories they want to know.Visits will be limited to a maximum of ten people per schedule.In addition to LabTel, the Laboratory for Studies in Software-Defined Networks (Nerds), the Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory and the Assistive Technology Center, all linked to the Ufes Technological Center and based on the Goiabeiras campus, participate in the action.Maria José Pontes, professor of Electrical Engineering and researcher at Labtel at Ufes, explains that the celebration of the International Day of Light is an initiative of the National Network of Photonics Laboratories (Sisfóton), of which LabTel is a part.“Light is a physical and natural phenomenon and can be exploited in the production of various technologies.In photonics, it is fundamental to produce the energy that will carry out the communication between the sensors, for example”, says the professor.Pontes highlights the sustainable character of the International Day of Light, following the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN).“Increasingly, we have seen adherence to sustainable technologies.People are realizing that producing a more sustainable world can be pleasant and better for everyone, she says.Check the schedule of visits to the laboratories:9am – Cloud Robotics (Nerds)9:00 am - Sustainable techniques for manufacturing polymeric optical fibers (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)10h - Fiber optic sensors for biomedical applications (LabTel) + Prototyping Laboratory10am - Cloud Robotics (Nerds)10:30 am - Fiber optic sensors for industrial applications (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)11 am - Assistive Technology Center11am – Cloud Robotics (Nerds)11:00 am - Sustainable techniques for manufacturing polymeric optical fibers (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)11:30 am - Fiber optic sensors for industrial applications (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)2pm - Communication via visible light/Li-Fi System + Fiber optic sensors for biomedical applications (LabTel)2 pm - Programmability in high-speed networks (Nerds)2:30 pm - Sustainable techniques for manufacturing polymeric optical fibers (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)3pm - Communication via visible light/Li-Fi System (LabTel) + Prototyping Laboratory15h - Programmability in high-speed networks (Nerds)15:00 - Optical fiber sensors for industrial applications (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)15:30 - Photonic Textiles in the development of wearable sensors (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)4pm - 5G telecommunications systems for FttH networks (LabTel) + Prototyping Laboratory16h - Programmability in high-speed networks (Nerds)16:30 - Photonic Textiles in the development of wearable sensors (Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory)Learn more about labs- Telecommunications Laboratory (LabTel): Laboratory with facilities for optical characterization of optical fiber devices;assembly and characterization of lasers and amplifiers in optical fiber doped with rare earths;assembly and characterization of fiber sensors such as angle/bend, level, temperature sensors;visible light transmission (Li-Fi) optical systems.Testbed for testing high capacity optical links (hundreds of kilometers and gigabytes).- Prototyping Laboratory: Space dedicated to the prototyping of optical devices and device encapsulation;facilities for fabrication and work to increase the degree of maturity of technologies and devices under development.- Laboratory of Studies in Software Defined Networks (Nerds): Laboratory of research and development of optical networks, with network infrastructure for tests and proofs of concept, with hardware and software development.Open, Programmable and Software-Defined DataCenter Networks;Wireless Link Scheduling for Data Collection in Sensor Networks.- Dynamic Instrumentation Laboratory: Development and manufacture of polymeric optical fibers;assembly and characterization of optical fiber sensors;mechanical characterization, state machines.- Assistive Technology Center: Space dedicated to the development of devices (hardware and software) for technological applications in the field of robotic rehabilitation.Text: Vitor Guerra (Communication project fellow) Editing: Lidia Neves and Thereza MarinhoAv.Fernando Ferrari, 514, Goiabeiras |Vitória - ES - CEP 29075-910 |© Federal University of Espírito Santo 2013.
