Advanced Photonics Research laboratory
Welcome to the Advanced Photonics Research Laboratory (APRL) at the University of Nevada, Reno.
The APRL group performs groundbreaking research in all aspects of the emerging technology in
Fiber Optic Communications, Sensor Applications and Sensor Networks, and Photogrammetry.
This includes opto-electronic devices, short reach optical interconnects, Metro and long haul
network systems. We take designs from "substrates to systems" and perform all prototyping locally
at the APRL. The group is organized under the Department of Electrical Engineering and headed by
Dr. Moncef. B. Tayahi, Founder of Saturday Academy
