An Open Day for EPSRC Ultra-Parallel Visible Light Communications (UP-VLC) programme will be held at the Royal Academy of Engineering in London on Wednesday, 4 May 2016. This Open Day will highlight the work of the EPSRC Programme Grant “UP-VLC” and we invite you to attend. UP-VLC is a five-year programme, involving a partnership between the Universities of Strathclyde, Edinburgh, St Andrew’s, Oxford and Cambridge, is exploring the implications of LED-based solid state lighting technology for a new form of communications infrastructure based on visible light. This encompasses applications to both ‘LiFi’ (networked optical wireless technology) and ‘guided wave’ (polymer optical fibre and polymer waveguide backplane) data communications. In particular, this programme focuses on the development and demonstration of multi-Gb/s communications systems taking advantage of novel device technology, new developments in data encoding and spatial and wavelength multiplexing. The programme of talks will be accompanied by a range of practical demonstration of the programme’s technology. We will be joined by our keynote speaker, the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Physics, Professor Hiroshi Amano (Nagoya University, Japan). The event is free to attend and open to all.
