Central Laboratory of Photoprocesses
About

The Central Laboratory of Photoprocesses "Acad. Jordan Malinowski" at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is involved in fundamental research of the interaction of condensed matter with light and other irradiations and its application for the development of new media for information recording, nanotechnologies, optoelectronics, infrared and integral optics, sensor technique, ets.
"Like Goliath belatedly realized it, one should never underestimate somebody or something just because they are too small!"

ESF-ALLEA EVALUATION OF BAS INSTITUTES 30.11.2009:   The Central Laboratory of Photoprocesses "Acad. Jordan Malinowski" is scored between the 17-th excellent Departments of Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. This is the decision of the European Science Foundation and ALLEA experts, which evaluates during 2009 each of the 69 academic Institutes and Central laboratories. The scientific and R&D activity of the Central Lab of Photoprocesses is evaluated with 3 A scores:
- Quality and Productivity: "A" for "Work that is internationally competitive and is expected to make a significant contribution. Institute is considered an international player, national leader.„
- Socio-economic Impact: "Highly relevant."
- Prospects: "High."
Applied activites
1
Synthesis of micro- and nano-structured thin films, fibrous and composite materials from different inorganic and organic compounds and modification of their physical & chemical propreties via different radiations - actinic light, laser-, electron-, ion- and X-ray beams. The main goal is to create R&D products for application in innovative technologies in the field of informatics, biomedical engineering, catalysis, modern optical coatings and sensor technique:
