Project
Keio Photonics Research Institute (KPRI) is conducting research and development in collaboration with industry, government and academia of "Ultra-High Speed Plastic Optical Fibers" and "novel Birefringence-Controlled Films for high-definition real color displays" that is photonics polymer technology achieved through research tracing back to the essence of interactions between polymer structure and optical functions. A research project entitled "Innovative Communications System by the Error-free POF Technology" has just started in September 2022 as one of the Beyond 5G R&D Promotion Projects of National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), based on the R&D Policy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, Japan.
Desired joint research
・Deployment of innovative Error-Free Plastic Optical Fiber that realizes high-speed data transmission of large capacity, power-saving and low latency for large-scale data centers, medical devices, and in-vehicles.
・Establishment of the industrialization technology for the novel birefringence controlled film
Collaboration track record
2017- Nitto / Keio University Optical Cable Center
