About SOPHT
The Soft Photonics Systems group is based at the University of Southampton. We research and develop instruments and software for the characterisation and optimisation of liquid crystal devices. We also pursue a number of research projects on the fundamental aspects of liquid crystal science, their topological characterisation, the biological and physical properties of living liquid crystals, their applications in photovoltaic and in nanostructures optical devices.
