Title	Photonics as electronics of the 21. century
Abstract/Intro	Profesor Goran Mashanovich is a full professor at University of Southampton and the leader of silicon photonics group within the Optoelectronics Research Centre, one of the most prestigious British and leading world centres in the area of optics and photonics. His work is recognized through numerous rewards for research as well as for extraordinary lectures and dedication to knowledge dissemination. It will be presented how light enables functioning of everyday technologies, from Internet, cameras and optical sensors in medicine, to robots, autonomous vehicles and optical chips which might significantly accelerate the AI development. There will also be some words on how contemporary chips are generated, what is the complexity of this process and why the process needs the collaboration of experts and institutions worldwide.

Seminar
Organizer	Institute of Physics, Photonics Center
Date/time	2026-05-19 (Tuesday), 12:00
Venue	Institute of Physics Belgrade, "Dragan Popović" hall
Presenter(s)	Jovana Petrović (OSS), Danka Stojanović (OSS), Kolja Bugarski (OSS), Goran Gligorić (OSS) and Aleksandra Maluckov (OSS)
Affiliation	Institute of Nuclear Sciences “Vinča”, P* Group
Language	Serbian and English
Title	Research and development of complex photonic systems
Abstract/Intro	P* Group will present its ongoing activities in photonics research and its applications, ranging from energy savings in data centres to medical diagnostics. The presentation will unfold as a triptych. The first part will be dedicated to the use of optical and other sensors in medical diagnostics. We will present multimodal sensing systems for applications in cardiology and gynaecology developed by the group and outline their development towards market. The second part of the presentation will focus on energy- and space-efficient integrated photonic circuits. We will present novel designs, experimental proofs of principle, and current developments towards validation in silicon photonics. We will also introduce the femtosecond laser laboratory at Vinča. In the final part, we will introduce theoretical research on localization and light-propagation phenomena in structured photonic systems. The topics include nonlinear and geometrically induced localization, Aharonov–Bohm caging, and topological protection in linear and nonlinear one- and two-dimensional structures.
