The Laboratory for Electro-Optical and Sensor Systems (LEOSS) is a research laboratory within the University of Maribor, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Informatics. It has been operating since 1995 and is focused on the development of advanced technologies in the field of photonics.
LEOSS objectives:
- Searching for new designs and concepts in sensing and fiber technologies
- Iskanje cenovno ugodnih rešitev in tehnologij za razvoj optičnih vlaken in senzorjev
- Bringing new sensing technologies and solutions into industrial applications
LEOSS equipment
The laboratory is equipped with a clean room in which equipment for micro-processing, lithographic processes and thin film deposition is available.
At a new location on Valvasorjeva Street in Maribor, we are equipping new laboratories that will enable completely new research and development capabilities in the technological fields of photonics, opto-electronics, laser, semiconductor and nano technology, and modern sensors.
LEOSS staff:
- Full-time staff: 8 (depending on projects)
- Additionally, the laboratory employs the participation of both graduate and postgraduate students
LEOSS relevance to Photonics systems:
- The laboratory has over 30 years of experience in optical fibers and optical sensors
- Experience in prototype and early stage product development
- Maintains good cooperation with industry – approximately half of the research budget in the last 10 years has come from industry
