About RRCAT Indore

Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT) is a Constituent Institute of the HBNI – (Homi Bhabha National Institute), a Deemed to be University with NAAC “A” grade.

Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore, was founded in 1984 by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for pursuit of R&D in the areas of Accelerators, Lasers and related technologies.

Centre has set up two Synchrotron Radiation Sources: Indus-1 & Indus-2, which are now working as national research facilities. There are also other accelerators developed at RRCAT for radiation processing applications.

The Centre has excellent cryogenic facilities as well as state-of-the-art equipment for low temperature physics measurements.

A variety of laser systems, particularly high power lasers, have been built and are being used for a wide range of applications. These include gas lasers (like copper vapour lasers, CO2 lasers), solid state lasers (like – diode pumped solid state lasers, semiconductor lasers, high power lasers) for the studies in the areas like –laser materials processing, and laser-plasma interaction.

The Centre also has long-standing program in the areas of RF-superconductivity, low-temperature physics, material science, cold atom physics, non-linear optics, opto-electronics, nano-science, micro-electro-mechanical systems, additive manufacturing, etc.

At RRCAT, they are actively pursuing R &D in BioPhotonics. Considerable expertise has been developed on use of photonics based approaches for biomedical diagnosis, phototherapy, optical tweezers and optical bioimaging. Some of our recent endeavors include targeted antimicrobial/anticancer light therapy, nanobiophotonics, and development of novel biomaterials etc.
