LeapLab’s technology, officially considered “key innovation” by the European Commission’s Innovation Radar

LeapLab’s technology for 3D processing specialty optical fibers has been identified as a ‘key innovation’ by the eu-commission Innovation Radar.

This official EU recognition is foremost important for our house Universidad de La Laguna.

The innovation was assessed by the JRC’s Market Creation Potential indicator framework as addressing the needs of existing markets and existing customers. Please check the link below for further info.

This development has been achieved within reaCtor project, and now published on the Innovation Radar’s public website.

The EIC Pathfinder project reaCtor aims to drive hashtag

#photo-hashtag

#flow hashtag

#chemistry with photons in an optical fiber to hashtag

#decarbonize the chemicals industry. We made a hashtag

#specialty optical ring-core hashtag

#fiber with a hollow inner volume in which reactions can be driven. (Interested in such a fiber for your research? Contact us!) We then will decorate the surface of the reaction volume with hashtag

#plasmonic hashtag

#nanoparticles that will interact with the guided light field. Chemicals will flow through the reaction volume and the nanoparticles’ field enhancement will trigger the chemical reaction.

To achieve that we gathered a big interdisciplinary team across Europe:

Devin O’Neill, Elia Savino, Veronika Adolfs, Susann Spindler, Ryszard Buczynski, Wiebke Albrecht, Esther Alarcon Llado, Erik Garnett, Timothy Noel, Michael Steinke (coordinator!), and many more…
