We are looking for partners to participate in the Horizon program.

Possible Project Name: GreenOptix - Sustainable Innovation in Large-Scale TeO₂ Crystal Growth

Idea: To develop a fully automated, eco-friendly production process for large-size TeO₂ crystals, integrating advanced growth technologies and renewable energy solutions to meet the growing demands of high-tech industries while minimizing environmental impact.

Key Elements of the Project

• Large-Scale TeO₂ Crystal Growth:

  • Development of innovative techniques to scale up crystal growth to meet the demand for large-aperture crystals (40-60mm optical aperture, 100-130mm boule diameter).

  • Focus on achieving defect-free, high-purity crystals suitable for applications in acousto-optics, telecommunications, defense, and scientific research.

• Process Automation:

  • Integration of AI and IoT technologies for real-time monitoring and adaptive control of crystal growth parameters.

  • Automation to optimize temperature gradients, growth rates, and cooling conditions, ensuring consistent quality and scalability.

  • Reduction of manual oversight to enhance precision and efficiency.

• Renewable Energy Integration:

  • Incorporation of solar panels, wind turbines, and energy storage systems to power the production process sustainably.

  • Smart energy management to optimize renewable energy usage during high-demand growth cycles, reducing dependency on traditional energy sources and lowering production costs.

It is our pleasure and honor to announce that our colleague was included in 2024 #photonics100 This is evidence that photoncs in Ukraine moves forward in spite of all problems! All our achivements are possible due to awesome Crys-Teh Team!
