Visit the Smart Fibre-Optic High Power Photonics (HiPPo) laboratory and step into the world of lasers and AI (artificial intelligence)!

Did you know lasers were probably used for cutting the glass on your phone screen and the welding of the metal in your car?

Lasers have revolutionised manufacturing, but the future of lasers is even more exciting! Combining lots lasers into a single, ultra-powerful laser beam is the next big challenge. But, it's so complex, we need advanced AI to make it work!

In this 15-minute experience, you'll visit our laser laboratory and see how we're using cutting-edge AI technologies to control multiple lasers.

You'll also have the chance to compete against AI in an interactive game where you'll try to control multiple lasers to achieve maximum laser power. Do you think you can do a better job than the AI?
