The PIONEAR project is introducing abreakthrough in microphone technologywith a unique design that redefines soundmeasurement. At the core of thisinnovation is a laser-based microphonecapsule, where the laser itself serves asthe sensing element. Unlike traditionallasers that emit light at a fixed colour, thelaser in PIONEAR’s microphone is highlyresponsive to environmental influences.When

PIONEAR is delighted to introduce its project newsletter, designed to share valuable insights, updates, and information about our pioneering work in developing a photonic microphone with sound quality surpassing that of the human ear. In this first issue, we offer an in-depth overview of the PIONEAR project, its mission, and

From October 1st to 3rd, 2024, the partners of the PIONEAR project will gather in Warsaw, Poland, for the third General Assembly (GA). Hosted by the Łukasiewicz – Institute of Microelectronics and Photonics (Ł-IMIF), the event will bring together around 20 participants representing the seven consortium partners. The event will

Imagine having the ability to unleash the fullpower of acoustics with a radically newtechnology for detecting sounds! Imaginethe endless possibilities that this could bringwith an enhancement of studio-soundquality of music and sound recordings orthe improved-quality conversations wecould have through video calls or using oursmartphones. To make this vision a reality,

Early next week, the PIONEAR consortium will come together to officially kick-off the new Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder Open project – PIONEAR. The meeting promises to bring excellent opportunities for partners to get to know each other and kickstart the collaboration towards the development of a novel miniature microphone with

What if acoustic sensing technology could surpass the human ear in detecting and interpreting sound? The sound quality of remote video calls would be as pristine as if you were in the same room. Smartphones equipped with ultra-sensitive microphones would allow for studio-quality recording of music and the sounds of
