- RRCAT celebrates its 41st Foundation Day with the transfer of Fiber Grating Based Optical Sensors and Interrogation System technology to a Bengaluru firm for enhanced railway security.
- Nasolight and Earolight, innovative tools designed to kill nasal and aural pathogens, are launched for commercial use, providing clinical benefits for conditions such as Covid, influenza, and pneumonia.
- Technological advancements include the transfer of High Voltage DC Power Supply for Glass-based CO2 Lasers to Suwa Tech Photonics, Noida, and the launch of ‘Agni Rakshak’ fire sensor for accurate detection of fires in hospitals by BCTPL, Bhopal.
On the occasion of the 41st Foundation Day of the Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), the prestigious research institution announced the transfer of nine advanced technologies to various industries. Among these technologies, the fiber grating based optical sensors have garnered significant attention.
The fiber grating based optical sensors are cutting-edge devices that are used to measure various physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, and strain. These sensors utilize fiber optic technology to provide accurate and real-time measurements, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare.
In addition to the fiber grating based optical sensors, RRCAT also transferred eight other technologies including advanced materials, radiation detectors, and laser systems. These technologies are expected to contribute to the growth and development of the industries they are being transferred to, and help in establishing India as a hub for cutting-edge technology and innovation.
Speaking on the occasion, the Director of RRCAT highlighted the importance of technology transfer in bridging the gap between research and industry. He emphasized the institution’s commitment to fostering collaborations and partnerships with industries to facilitate the adoption and integration of advanced technologies into commercial applications.
The transfer of these technologies marks a significant milestone for RRCAT and reaffirms its position as a leading research institution in the field of advanced technology. It also underlines the institution’s dedication to contributing to the national development and economic growth through technological innovation. The industry partners receiving these technologies are expected to benefit greatly from the expertise and knowledge that RRCAT has to offer, and in turn, contribute to the overall advancement of the country’s technological capabilities.
