Photonics research and development requires a complex set of expertise (from technology to networking) as well as very expensive equipment, sub-systems and devices. It is evident that such comprehensive facilities cannot be supported by any single institution. The members of the Pan-European Systems Lab have developed over the years a wide range of expertise and laboratory facilities in the fields of photonic components, systems and networks.

The EURO-FOS Pan-European laboratory environment enables the sharing of skills, facilities and equipments among the participating laboratories through research exchanges, moving technology and equipment and in some cases through actual interconnection of labs across Europe using high speed GEANT connectivity or cross-border Dark Fibres.

The EURO-FOS laboratory offers a unique enviroment to:

• Perform joint research between academic partners and companies using photonic research prototypes
• Test research prototypes and/or commercial photonic components in system enviroments

The Pan-European Laboratory consists of Europe's top academic systems groups and through its members state-of-the-art system testbeds and advanced measurement equipment are offered for device testing and research and development on photonic subsystems.
