We are MIRO, the Millennium Institute for Research in Optics, funded by the Millennium Initiative program of the National Research and Development Agency (ANID in Spanish) of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Chile.
We are headquartered at the Universidad de Concepción, Universidad de Chile, Universidad de Santiago, Universidad de Los Andes, and UC Chile.

LINES OF RESEARCH

We conduct scientific research of excellence associated with light phenomena, optical communication,
and quantum information.

Quantum Light

We are devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum optics and its role in realizing quantum information protocols and fundamental characteristics of quantum physics.

Optical communications

We study the scientific and applied aspects of FSO communications by means of systems based on orbital angular momentum and adaptive optics.

SEE MORE

Novel light sources

We study the design, synthesis, and optical characterization of nonlinear organic crystals for applications to second-order nonlinear optics.

SEE MORE

Photonic lattices and Pattern formation

We conduct scientific research related to the phenomenon of programmable vortex arrays in liquid crystals.
