The Centre for Advanced Photonics and Process Analysis (CAPPA) is a research centre of Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) conducting both applied and fundamental research on photonics for applications in areas as diverse as telecommunications, pharmaceutical, medical, food and beverage. The activities of CAPPA have two main foci: Innovation for Industry and Advanced Research. In the Innovation for Industry focus CAPPA provides photonics solutions to companies in a variety of sectors, on scales from short-term consultancy to multi-year collaborative projects. In the Advanced Research focus CAPPA conducts internationally-recognized academic research on topics such as non-linear dynamics of lasers and ultrafast laser physics, and the understanding the dynamics of novel semiconductor materials and devices.
As part of its continuing development and in keeping with the company value of innovative qualities, CAPPA has launched a new YouTube channel which will act as a hub for showcasing CAPPA activities in both the academic and industry sectors of the centre. This channel will showcase some of the work that CAPPA has conducted as well as give an overview of the centre and its service offering.
As part of the development of a CAPPA YouTube channel the centre created a new promotional video which went live on 11th of March 2019.
