"Welcome to the Advanced Photonics Research Institute, which contributes to solving global issues through science and technology by becoming the vanguard of innovation in the new era."
Welcome to
the Advanced Photonics Research Institute (APRI) homepage!
The Advanced Photonics Research Institute, an affiliated research institute of the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology was opened in May 2001 as the only education and R&D institution in the field of optical science and technology in Korea. APRI has been making great efforts to contribute to academic advancement and the
development of domestic industry through excellent research and development on optical science and technology.
Now, we have the world's highest output 4.2 PW ultrafast laser research facility along with electron, proton acceleration and X-ray generation equipments, and various research infrastructure facilities in the field of optics, such as nonlinear spectroscopy, nano-optics, optical fiber, optical materials/devices, biophotonics, and quantum optics, and are striving for cutting-edge R&D. APRI has recently been producing many research results in our country's future strategic fields, such as national defense/security, space/aviation, energy, and quantum
information, in addition to traditional basic science research.
The 21st century is the age of light beyond the age of electronics. In particular, the ability to create, control, and utilize light is essential in the new era represented by the era of hyper-connectivity and super-intelligence. Global and national challenges such as artificial intelligence and quantum information, climate change and environmental
problems, pandemic problems such as infectious diseases, and the demand for new power for leading economic
development must eventually be solved through science and technology.
APRI will strive to become a world-class optical research institute that can contribute to solving global issues
through optical science and technology by being at the forefront of these innovations and problem-solving.
Thank you.
