Facilities

Our modern university research facilities give you access to the best equipment to advance your research.

3D X-ray imaging facility
We host a range of different sized µ-VIS (mu-VIS) scanners which work by taking thousands of X-ray views to build up a 3D image of an object.

Flame hydrolysis deposition facility
Our flame hydrolysis deposition (FHD) tools form doped silica waveguide layers for integrated photonic circuits.

National Infrastructure Laboratory
We work with industry and academia to tackle global challenges relating to infrastructure.

Novel and compound glass facility
We specialise in advanced material development. This ranges from exotic 2D semiconductors to bulk glasses with wide optical transparency.

Silica fibre facility
We specialise in the manufacture and research of doped and structured fibres.

Soton UAV (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle) laboratory
Focusing on our research and enterprise commitment, we design, manufacture and operate UAVs from a research and technology demonstration perspective.

Testing and structures research laboratory
We are a regional and national centre for experimental mechanics research.
